document resources in the United States. </strong></p> <p>The scope of the collections is equally staggering and covers nearly every facet of our nation's history鈥攆rom the history of the Institution itself to the history of American, African American, and Latin American art, culture, music, and design; science and technology; landscapes and gardens;聽and native and indigenous world cultures.</p> <p>The archival collections include technical drawings, photographs, letters, field notebooks, diaries and journals, sketches and sketchbooks, scrapbooks, manuscripts, rare printed materials, motion picture film, video and sound recordings, and much more. Many of the archival units are repositories within the Smithsonian's museums, libraries, and other larger divisions, and two are independent collecting units. Nearly all have online collections and resources where visitors will find more detail about the scope of collections, collection guides and finding aids, and digitized content.</p> <p>The Smithsonian Institution Archives and Special Collections Council (SIASC) is a forum for open discussion regarding experiences, interests, and concerns of the Institution's numerous archives and special collections. It prepares archival management policies, procedures, manuals, and other guidance for those at the Smithsonian who manage archival collections. Each year, SIASC聽plans special activities for聽American Archives Month, including collaborative events with archives across the metropolitan area.</p> </div></div> <div class="entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-image-text-overlay view-mode-full border node--teaser node--teaser-list teaser has-media" id="paragraphs-item-1064" class="entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-image-text-overlay view-mode-full border node--teaser node--teaser-list"> <div class="inner"> <div class="b-media-wrapper"> <div class="content field field--name-field-image-single field--type-image field--label-hidden"> <img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://www.si.edu/sites/default/files/styles/grid_large/public/aaa_woodbeat_33962_0.jpg?itok=4l1qMr8d&c=8f5794c777abaf6afb65a53970abb596" alt="diary tied with ribbon" /> </div> </div> <div class="b-text-wrapper"> <h3><a href="http://sova.si.edu/?utm_source=si.edu&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=promo">SOVA: Smithsonian Online Virtual Archives</a></h3> <p>Explore digital content from letters, manuscripts, diaries and journals, ledgers and stock books, photographs, scrapbooks, sketchbooks and drawings, technical drawings and blueprints, field notebooks, log books, rare printed materials, sound recordings, videos, and much more.
