The Smithsonian Institution Archives serves as the institutional memory of a unique cultural organization. The Archives’ mission is to document the goals and activities of the whole Smithsonian in its pursuit of increasing and diffusing knowledge, and exciting learning in everyone. The Archives is also responsible for ensuring institutional accountability, and for enhancing access to the rich and diverse resources in its care.

This Flickr profile sets out to include a behind-the-scenes peek into the Smithsonian Institution Archives. Here, we will feature photographs of workshops, conservation efforts, and other Archives-sponsored events.
