- PROJECT CHAPMAN
-
- These image files have been produced by the Smithsonian
- Institution's Office of Printing & Photographic Services, and
- are made available through a generous grant from the Apple
- Library of Tomorrow Program, under Project Chapman (named for
- John Chapman, a.k.a. 'Johnny Appleseed').
-
- These images cover topics ranging from air and space to
- science, technology, history, and even current events. These
- images are designed to give the user who cannot come to
- Washington, the opportunity to see and learn about many of
- the Smithsonian's most popular and important objects and
- exhibits.
-
- These images cover a broad spectrum of interests which we
- hope will interest our electronic audience. Here we are able
- to present photographs from many of our museums on the Mall
- in Washington, D.C. plus other Smithsonian bureaus such as
- the National Zoo and the Smithsonian Astrophysical
- Observatory.
-
- Starting with some of the best of our photography, all
- scanning and image preparation is done in our Electronic
- Imaging Laboratory to insure each file meets our standards.
- In addition to the image, extensive captions are often
- included with each image as part of our mission for the
- 'increase and diffusion of knowledge.'
-
- We hope you enjoy these images and we invite your comments.
