Alexander Wetmore - Album, Panama, 1957, Vol. 2

Did you know that when the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama was established in 1923, it was just one small field station? In the decades since, the Smithsonian's Panama facilities have greatly expanded to conduct long-term biological studies and host hundreds of visiting scientists--including former Smithsonian Secretary Alexander Wetmore. Wetmore visited the Smithsonian's Panama field station as part of his annual trip to study the region's bird populations. This album contains photographs of Wetmore's work at the research station, at the beginning of its expansion throughout the 1940s-1980s.
