History of the Smithsonian Bibliography
The Bibliography on the History of the Smithsonian Institution describes published and unpublished materials (books, journal and newspaper articles, dissertations, reports, lectures, and correspondence) about the history of the Smithsonian Institution. The bibliography is maintained by the staff, interns and volunteers of the Institutional History Division, Smithsonian Institution Archives. This bibliography contains citations to the major publications and documents on the history of the Smithsonian, but is not (yet) comprehensive and includes mostly English language materials.
