                       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.
