Visually Handicapped

The National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution undertook a research project to determine what could be done to enable visually handicapped persons to benefit from the museum's resources. Programs currently of interest to the blind were advertised, with maps of touchable objects throughout the museum made available. In addition, books about the Smithsonian have been brailled, cassette tours of individual halls prepared, exhibit designers encouraged to include more touchable objects in their displays, and docents given special training in how to relate to and guide blind persons. Further sources of information appear at the end of this article.

Ceramic Vessels

The collection of R. King Harris at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) at the Smithsonian Institution has ancestral Caddo ceramic vessels from the Wright Plantation (41RR7) and Rowland Clark (41RR77) sites along the Red River in East Texas. Other than the site provenience and the burial number of two of the vessels at the Rowland Clark site, there is no more detailed documentation available on when or where within the sites that Harris obtained the ceramic vessels. Nevertheless, it is important as part of the broader study of the history of Caddo ceramic vessel forms and decorative motifs to put these vessels on record.

National Effort

An effort is under way to establish a collection of materials which will trace the development of perinatal-care technology in The National Museum of American History at Smithsonian Institution. Readers of Pediatrics are urged to cooperate in this national effort to locate materials of historical interest in back rooms of hospitals and in private collections. The material of interest ranges from incubators (Lion-type used in incubatorbaby exhibits to the present-day models), resuscitation and ventilating devices (delivery-room apparatus, Bloxom Air-Lock, rocking bed, respirators ...), feeding items (gavage equipment, nasal spoons, indwelling tubes ...), photographs, hospital records (statistical reports, examples of patient records ...) and equipment used in landmark investigations (calorimetry, oxygen consumption ...).
