Smithsonian Voices of Discovery -
|
 The
Smithsonian is one of the premiere research institutions in the
country, with outstanding scholars on staff who are involved
in basic research which, in many cases,
interprets the tremendous national collections. 
To
highlight the human side of the Smithsonian, a special program
called the Smithsonian Voices of Discovery has
been created. This program places emphasis on the personal side
of museum work by taking the human resources of the Smithsonian
to the nation.
The Smithsonian
Voices of Discovery enables Smithsonian scholars
to travel to cities around the country to make presentations
at a wide variety of local cultural, educational, and civic
institutions--including museums, libraries, schools, universities,
and business and community centers--on subjects relating
to their research that are selected by the participating
groups.
An
overarching goal of the program is to establish long-term relationships
with the local institutions and organizations that host Smithsonian
scholars.
Cost
for a Smithsonian Voices of Discovery program
varies--from $3000 to $30,000--depending on the format, size
and length of the program.
