SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION
Emphasis upon publication as a means of "di f fus ing knowledge" was expressed
by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Inst i tut ion, Joseph
Henry outl ined a program that included the fol lowing statement: " I t is proposed to
publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and
of the changes made f rom year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme
of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of tit les issued
in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint , commencing with Smithsonian
Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and cont inuing with the fol lowing active series:
Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology
Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics
Smithsonian Contributions to Botany
Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences
Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences
Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology
Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology
Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space
Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology
In these series, the Insti tut ion publishes small papers and full-scale monographs
that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of
professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are
distr ibuted by mail ing lists to libraries, universities, and similar inst i tut ions throughout
the world.
Papers or monographs submit ted for series publication are received by the
Smithsonian Insti tut ion Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only
through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the
manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art
preparation are outl ined on the inside back cover.
