It was a great celebration with lectures, branch library open houses, and our more routine events all branded for the 50th. In June, we invited all former staff we could find to a homecoming event of celebration. We took note of the relaxed, smiling faces on those who had retired! Many thanks to our Board members, sponsors, and other donors who created the Gilded Circle, a special opportunity to donate in honor of our 50th anniversary. We celebrated with a new exhibition in our gallery Programming about book collecting progresses in the American History Museum, Magnificent into 2019 with lectures on women book collectors, Obsessions; Why We Collect, curated by our own book clubs, and even a mystery event or two (for Mary Augusta Thomas (deputy director) and details, visit library.si.edu/events).

Together they created the Amy and Horacio Threefoot Valeiras Endowment, which supports the Libraries’ mission to promote new ideas through knowledge-sharing in history, art, science, and culture. In 2018, Amy and Horacio funded a one-year position for a second educator to join the Libraries’ education department. Amy has served on the Smithsonian Libraries Advisory Board since 2017. She shares her thoughts below. How did you and Horacio become interested in libraries? I was born and raised in New Orleans, La. Libraries were always present in my life, a place to seek information, exploration, and inspiration, and a quiet space. I am drawn to libraries as both a user and supporter, from raising my hand to shelve books in elementary school to chairing the San Diego Public Library Foundation Board to now serving on the Smithsonian Libraries Advisory Board.

The program provides kits to be “checked out” to families with young children, creating an immersive contemporary art and literary experience for all ages in the Hirshhorn’s galleries. One way to describe my relationship with libraries… How did you get involved with the Smithsonian I met Horacio while I was in college in Boston. Libraries? We got married, had (have) three wonderful children, I met Tina Muracco (former advancement director) in and moved seven times from coast to coast and San Diego and was intrigued hearing about the work internationally.

I couldn’t believe what I was getting to see and touch: Nicolaus Copernicus’s De Revolutionibus Orbium Caelestium (1543) with illustrations of the sun as the center of our solar system and a beautiful handwritten letter by Galileo dated May 12, 1635 that describes the sadness and loneliness of being under house arrest for his writings and beliefs. I was looking at and touching history. 6 Smithsonian Libraries Photo: Charlie Cattel-Killick, Museum in a Box I am amazed at the amount of creative, accessible, and opportune information the libraries have to offer K-12 students.

I am amazed at the amount of creative, accessible, and opportune information the libraries have to offer K-12 students. My biggest surprise was to learn that these programs for teens, interns, and D.C. public middle schoolers were spearheaded by the education department which consisted of just one employee. Why did you decide to fund an education specialist position? The education specialist is needed to creatively work with Libraries’ resources and technology so information can be accessible for students and teachers around the world to use and explore, whether they are in D.C., San Diego, Tokyo, or Buenos Aires. With libraries and data today, there is the opportunity to have students help create the content as well as study it. What prompted you, along with Advisory Board member Elizabeth Oliver, to host two Libraries events in San Diego? After attending a Smithsonian Libraries Advisory Board meeting, I returned to San Diego excited and amazed at the work being done. I have a tendency to share that enthusiasm and people’s first response is usually: “there are libraries at the Smithsonian Institution?” To capture that zeal, Elizabeth and I wanted to help introduce the Libraries to West Coasters.

These collections will tell overdue stories of American history in multiple languages and through innovative digital technology, be packaged in traveling trunks, and sent to learning sites all over the country.

Anthony Hall-Martin, co-founder of the conservation organization African Parks, and artist Paul Bosman created Elephants of Africa to highlight the role of wardens who manage wild elephant herds. Between 1967 and 1994, elephants were legally culled in South Africa’s Kruger National Park to maintain environmentally sustainable population levels. Hides from culled animals were then sold.

It would be a veritable and most tragic calamity if the lordly elephant, the giant among existing four-footed creatures, should be permitted to vanish from the face of the earth. African Game Trails was born from a series Roosevelt wrote for Scribner’s Magazine, which helped underwrite the African expedition. The book offers Roosevelt’s view of hunting as a way to call attention to the need for conservation. While people knew about extinction, the impact sense of caring about these animals. You hear of overconsumption and the loss of biodiversity about kids campaigning in their schools to raise weren’t well understood. Many of our protected awareness about the threat of poaching.

People (Smithsonian Libraries, National Zoo, and the today do want to protect species. National Museum of Natural History) to collaborate to tell stories through exhibitions? Each Smithsonian unit has its own stories to tell—but it’s hard to imagine any story that is Smithsonian-based that doesn’t touch upon the research and collections in other units. That is one of the absolute best things about the Smithsonian. Our collections allow us to tell stories from a variety of perspectives by sharing our objects and our narratives. I am inspired by what I see happening at other units, and what I know about the work that is going on behind-the-scenes. The National Museum of African Art has collections that show countless animals across cultures, and many of those animals are found in our collections or at the Natural History Museum. To be able to see how people have looked at these animals, and then to be able to see the animals themselves is what is so amazing. You can take almost any single item in any unit, and find threads that directly connect it with other collections. The Libraries’ holdings are particularly unique because they are built upon the work at each and every Smithsonian unit. The Libraries’ books are directly tied to the National Zoo—our conservation research, our significant animals, our people. I am Evelyn Ames, A Glimpse of Eden, Boston, 1967.
