SmithsonianAssociates.org will be offline for scheduled maintenance on Sunday, October 6, between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. ET.
Your Encores will also be unavailable during this time. We will be extending the viewing time of your Encores by an extra day so you will still have time to watch your recordings. If you still feel you need extra time to watch your Encores recordings, please contact us and let us know.
