Celebrating 175: Thomas Wilmer Dewing and Dewing Family Papers, Writings, Freer Gallery, "In Dewing Room", 1924

About the Project

Join the Archives of American Art and the Smithsonian Transcription Center as we kick off our year-long celebration of the Smithsonian's 175th! 175 years ago on August 10, 1846, the Smithsonian Institution was founded with one mission: the increase and diffusion of knowledge of all kinds. Since then, the Smithsonian's many museums and research centers have been active in the art world: corresponding with artists, organizing exhibitions, and collecting and preserving works of art and other related materials. Explore the relationship of the Smithsonian to the US art world over the years as you transcribe correspondence, artist files, and subject files dating from 1881-1993 from 15 different collections.
