The "Galaxy of Images" from the Smithsonian

November, 01 2010

The Smithsonian Institution Libraries make a number of digital image collections available through the Internet. Among these are "Art and Design," "Portraits," and "Society and Culture." Users can browse by collection or sub-collection, or run keyword searches. A search for "Civil War," for example, returns 44 images, which educators may download for use in the classroom. This particular subject may be a terrific asset to those who will study Serenade/The Propositionthis year (see the article on Lincoln Center Institute's repertory). Click here for more information about the uses allowed for teachers and students.
