Summary: | These records primarily document the administration of the NMNH during the tenures of Kier, Fiske, and Hoffmann. A small amount of files were created by Talbot and Acting Directors James F. Mello, 1979, and James C. Tyler, 1985 and 1988. Also included are a few records created during the tenure of Richard Sumner Cowan as Director in 1971-1972. The records document the research, exhibition, and educational missions of the NMNH. They also document relations between the NMNH and Smithsonian bureaus and offices, educational organizations, and the museum community. Of special interest are files documenting the planning, construction, and the opening of the Museum Support Center, a facility constructed in suburban Maryland to care for the national collections and occupied in 1983; the opening and exhibition program of the Thomas M. Evans Special Exhibition Gallery; and the development of NMNH programs including the Molecular Systematics Laboratory and the Biological Diversity Program. Also included are fiscal and budgetary records, and files documenting special events at the NMNH. |
