About the Project

Take off on an island adventure with Alexander Wetmore's 1923 photo album documenting his travel through the central Pacific Islands! Wetmore, an ornithologist, curator, and former Secretary of the Smithsonian, took these photos while on the Tanager Expedition with the US Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Biological Survey. Wetmore directed the expedition's team of scientists in studying the plant and animal life on several of the Hawaiian Islands. Join Wetmore and his Tanager Expedition crew on a winter adventure and help transcribe captions of these striking island images.
