Summary

New blue and white enamel banners are hung from Mall lampposts. The signs are "one part of a public sinage and information system designed for the Mall by Wyman and Cannan of New York, under the direction of a steering committee of officials from the National Gallery of Art, National Archives, the Capitol, the National Park Service and SI." There are also a series of kiosks containing two-sided, three dimensional maps of the Mall with names and information in five languages. Work on this project was inaugurated in September 1975.
