The Smithsonian Institution was created by act of August 10, 1846 (20 U.S.C. 41 et seq.), to carry out the terms of the will of James Smithson of England, who in 1829 had bequeathed his entire estate to the United States "to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” On July 1, 1836, Congress accepted the legacy and pledged the faith of the United States to the charitable trust.

After accepting the trust property for the United States, Congress vested responsibility for administering the trust in the Smithsonian Board of Regents, composed of the Chief Justice, the Vice President, three Members of the Senate, three Members of the House of Representatives, and nine citizen members appointed by joint resolution of Congress.

To carry out Smithson's mandate, the Institution, as an independent trust establishment:

-performs fundamental research; -publishes the results of studies, explorations, and investigations; -preserves for study and reference over 100 million items of scientific, cultural, and historical interest;

-maintains exhibits representative of the arts, American history, technology,

aeronautics and space exploration, and natural history;

-participates in the international exchange of learned publications; and engages in programs of education and national and international cooperative research and training, supported by its trust endowments and gifts, grants and contracts, and funds appropriated to it by Congress.

Activities

Anacostia Museum The museum, located in the historic Anacostia section of Southeast Washington, presents exhibitions on the history and culture of Afro-Americans. Black aviators, the Harlem Renaissance, and pioneering educator Anna Cooper have been the subjects of exhibitions at the museum.

The Research Department, open for use by scholars, supports exhibit design and educational programs. It conducts independent studies in the areas of AfroAmerican history, minority and ethnic studies, and history of Anacostia and Washington, DC.

The Education Department designs, prepares, and schedules programs that enhance current exhibitions and develops independent programs and activities to serve the needs and interests of the local school community. These activities include a traveling puppet troupe for intermediate grades, teacher workshops

and seminars, and a circulating library of children's books, for use by teachers, on African and Afro-American history and biographies.

For further information, contact the Anacostia Museum, 1901 Fort Place, SE., Washington, DC 20020. Phone, 202-287-3306.

Archives of American Art The archives contains the Nation's largest collection of documentary materials reflecting the history of visual arts in the United States. The archives gathers, preserves, and microfilms the papers of artists, craftsmen, collectors, dealers, critics, museums, and art societies. These papers consist of manuscripts, letters, notebooks, sketchbooks, business records, clippings, exhibition catalogs, tape-recorded interviews, and photographs of artists and their work. The extensive microfilm holdings of the archives include bodies of materials not belonging to the archives but recorded by it with permission of the owner.

The archives' chief processing and reference center is in the Smithsonian's Museum of American Art and Portrait Gallery Building. The archives' executive office is in New York; regional branch offices, each with a complete set of microfilm duplicating the archives' collections, are located in Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.

For further information, contact the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560. Phone, 202-357-2781.

Arthur M. Sackler Gallery The museum of Near Eastern and Asian art opened to the public September 1987 on the National Mall. Changing exhibitions drawn from major collections in the United States and abroad, as well as from the permanent holdings of the Sackler Gallery, are displayed in the distinctive new museum. The gallery's permanent collection is founded on a group of 1,000 art objects from China, South and Southeast Asia, and the ancient Near East that was given by the late Arthur M. Sackler, a medical researcher, publisher, and art collector. Highlights include Chinese jades and bronzes, ancient Near Eastern gold and

silver, and Persian manuscripts. Future
programs at the gallery will include loan
exhibitions and major international shows
offering both surveys of distinctive Asian
traditions and comparative exhibitions
showing the art of different centuries,
geographic areas, and types of
patronage. Many exhibitions will be
accompanied by public programs and
scholarly symposia.

For further information, contact the Arthur M.
Sackler Gallery, 1050 Independence Avenue,
SW., Washington, DC 20560. Phone, 202-357-
1924.

Conservation Analytical Laboratory
The laboratory provides a focus within
the Smithsonian Institution for
conservation of the millions of artifacts in
the collections. It provides chemical
analyses to curators for cataloging
purposes, and to conservators for
establishing the nature of a particular
example of deterioration and for
determining whether commercial
materials proposed for use in prolonged
contact with artifacts are truly safe. It
treats many hundreds of artifacts each
year and, upon request, supports other
conservators in the Institution with
advice and specialized materials. It
collaborates with archeologists, curators,
and university and government
laboratories in archeometric studies.

For further information, contact the Director, Conservation Analytical Laboratory, Museum Support Center, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, MD 20560. Phone, 202-287-3700.

Cooper-Hewitt Museum, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Design The museum is located in New York City. Of scope and quality unparalleled in this country, its collection consists of more than 300,000 items. It maintains a reference library of about 35,000 volumes relating to design, ornament, and architecture, and a picture library of several million photographs and clippings, as well as a series of archives devoted to color material and industrial design. The museum is not only a major assemblage of decorative art materials but also a research laboratory serving professionals and students of design. The regularly changing exhibitions always
