On The Internet

They call the Smithsonian Institution the nation’s attic, but it is a treasure house of science, technology and natural history. You can visit the Electronic Smithsonian at https:/www.si.edu/ or at its California mirror site at https://www.si.sgi.clm/sgi.him. The site includes information on exhibitions for most of the Smithsonian’s museums and galleries and the National Zoo. You can even send e- mail to the museum’s research staff.
