Indian Notes, a recent entry into the Libraries’ digital collection through the History, Art, and Culture (HAC) Project.

While the Smithsonian Institution Libraries (SIL) comprises 20 branch libraries, some branch collections naturally overlap when meeting the needs of their library users.

It may surprise you to learn both collect books and journals on landscape design and history and the decorative arts.
