As a new Washington DC Tour Guide with a passion for history and a francophile, I stumbled across this video to learn more about Smithson. Not only was I so impressed by Smithson's life and this video, I wondered whether whether I would focus on Smithson in an upcoming Masters of History I am planning. However, I am not sure how much more I can add to the body of knowledge beyond what the expert historians in this video have already accomplished. In the mean time, I have purchased Heather Ewing's book, The Lost World of James Smithson. If there are other books I should look at, please let me know in the comments. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this brilliant video!

Thanks for making this available to those of us who missed the presentation "in real time"! Really interesting.

It is amazing to get informations and to know more about this part of our history and history of the World.

Will it possible to have all these amazing books and documents related to story of slavery?

Does the Smithsonian offer preservation guides to the public, so that we may properly take care of our personal treasures as well? (which may one day be added to the Smithsonian's treasures, who knows).

So how do you preserve new books from deterioration, to keep them looking & smelling fresh and new?!

Gracias por tener en cuenta a esta gran ilustradora 😘😘😘

Beautiful work and medium. Fascinating!

Thank you.

Wow!!! cool! how I wanted to work in a place like this! I'm passionate about pop up and I make cards to teach special children with deafness and autism among others, because they are fascinated by the magic of this art and learn better that way.

I’m just reading a book by Melissa Ashley called The Birdman’s Wife.

I should donate some of my " artist's books"

Hi, the volume of the video is very low. Almost impossible to hear.

Great work, thank you!

Thank you i just received this. Thank you. Are we only 6 people searching and watching this. ?

Nice content! Have a look at my account and sub if you enjoy it 😍

Fascinating behind-the-scenes on a great nexus of libraries -- hope some of the other branches would be interested in doing something similar. Just one thing, though: it would be helpful if you would add to the description the various URLs referenced in the video. Not all your viewers are going to think of jotting these down while watching, plus those of us with hearing difficulties know from experience that autogenerated captions can't always be trusted. Thanks.

If you're here because you're looking for movable book/pop up content it starts around 34 minutes in. Doesn't come at it from a paper engineering perspective though, more art and design. Perfectly fine, but i keep getting recommended it when looking for pop up book content when its not quite what im looking for. The japanese section was very interesting though, and i had no idea that e books would be expensive in comparison to print.

Wait what happens to the dragon

Staedtler's MARS is really by far the best eraser compound.

People are so careless to pop up books, and take them for granted. If only they knew how much time and effort it really takes to make one!

I have an older paperback how-to book from Evan's Brothers of London, published in the '40s. It has part of an Evans label glued or pasted over a portion of a list of books they published back then. It appears to be adhesive-backed paper. I expect it was applied in the '50s. How would you reccomend that it be removed? The book is not particularly valuable; in fact I probably paid less than a dollar for it. Nonetheless, I'd like to make a good job of it. Thank you, Joe Ross

I have some unique pieces I would like to get checked out if interested send me a message thank u
