from the acting secretary
 

SINCE MARCH 2007, I have had the privilege of serving as the Smithsonian’s Acting 

Secretary. This has been a year of great challenge, but also one of great accomplishment. 

Looking back on our achievements, and the institutional strengths that drive them, I am 

filled with profound optimism for the future of the Smithsonian. 

In our vast collections, so critical to research, education, and exhibition, we safeguard 

objects too small to be seen by the naked eye and large enough to require an entire museum 

wing. Artifacts rich in history, objects vital to scientific study, and art from every age and era 

combine to make the Smithsonian one of the world’s most visited destinations, both in 

person and on the World Wide Web. 

This year, we mounted an art exhibition that showed how 

sailing ships connected the world in the 16th and 17th centuries, 

much as the Internet does today. The exhibition also highlighted 

a signature Smithsonian strength: how the multiple disciplines of 

science, history, art, and culture offer many ways to understand 

the world. A newly established endowed chair in marine science 

exemplifies our commitment to advancing knowledge, and a study 

of tropical rain forests shows the impact of global climate change and highlights our 

extraordinary potential for large-scale and long-term collaborative initiatives. 

Even as we extend our global reach, we continue to engage locally. In 2007, we promoted 

the power of design to improve lives in remote, impoverished sections of the world. We 

also celebrated the culmination of a decade-long partnership with San Antonio cultural 

leaders, just one of the ways we bring our expertise and objects to thousands of Americans 

in their hometowns. And I am particularly pleased with this year’s educational outreach 

that has put the Smithsonian directly into the nation’s classrooms, from kindergarten 

to college. 

I am proud to be a part of the Smithsonian and grateful for your support, which makes 

these stories — and thousands like them — possible. I hope they inspire you, as they do 

me, to create an even brighter future. 

Cristián Samper, Acting Secretary of the Smithsonian

EXPLORE GLOBALLY
 

From Antarctica to Wales, from the depths of the ocean 

to the far reaches of the galaxy, the globe itself is the 

Smithsonian’s laboratory. Scientists and art historians, 

curators and conservators, paleontologists and zoologists 

work on every continent to expand the boundaries of 

thought, turning ideas into information and discoveries into 

solutions. Whether tracing the impact of 16th-century trade, 

coaxing secrets from coral reefs, or probing rain forests for 

clues to climate change, the broad sweep of Smithsonian 

expertise advances knowledge and disseminates it around 

the world.

connecting the world 


through exploration
 

ARTHUR M. SACKLER GALLERY 

FOUR HUNDRED YEARS before the Internet, Portugal ushered in the modern era by 

connecting continents and creating a global network of culture, commerce, and information exchange. 

This year, a Smithsonian exhibition chronicled the journeys and their impact on the world. 

SAILING SHIPS SPREAD KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE 

Encompassing the Globe: Portugal and the World in the 16th and 

17th Centuries told the story of how Portugal’s sailing 

prowess built a trading empire that forged the first major 

relationships among cultures around the 

globe. Organized by the Arthur M. 

Sackler Gallery in partnership with the continents through objects designed 

National Museum of African Art and in one part of the world for trade 

guest curated by Jay Levenson of New with another. Gathered from museums 

York’s Museum of Modern Art, the and private collections worldwide, the 

exhibition attracted thousands of objects included scientific instruments 

visitors, including Portugal’s President, fashioned by Jesuit missionaries for

before traveling to Brussels, Belgium. by Habsburg emperors, and saltThe exhibition detailed the flow of cellars carved in West Africa. “Working

protecting 


a vast natural resource
 

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY 

MORE THAN 70 PERCENT of Earth’s surface is water, much of it unexplored.
 

The Sant Chair for Marine Science — the first endowed chair in this field at the National Museum of Natural
 

History — will enable greater public understanding of this precious and fragile world.
 

SAVING THE WORLD’S OCEANS 

Oceans are essential to all life, but human activities 

are having an impact on marine ecosystems. Global 

climate change, water pollution, invasive species, and 

overfishing put marine life at risk. Coral reefs, the 

rain forests of the ocean, 

protect us against storm 

waves and tsunamis and 

nurture many commercially 

important fish. Yet within 

the last decade, more than 

80 percent of Caribbean 

coral reefs have been 

severely impacted or 

destroyed. The Smithsonian is working to reverse 

this trend. A leader in marine science with the world’s 

largest collection of marine specimens, the Institution 

has established a Chair for Marine Science with a generous 

gift from Smithsonian Regent Roger Sant and his 

wife, Victoria. 

ENDOWED CHAIR PROVIDES LEADERSHIP 

The gift establishing the endowed chair allowed the 

Smithsonian to recruit Nancy Knowlton, an eminent 

marine biologist and international expert on coral 

reef biology. Knowlton, founding director of the Center 

for Marine Biodiversity 

and Conservation and 

professor at Scripps 

Institution of Oceanography of the University of 

California, San Diego, 

heads the Museum of 

Natural History’s global 

ocean research program 

and is involved in its many outreach initiatives. “This is a 

profoundly exciting opportunity for me,” Knowlton says. 

“We hope our research will yield an immense amount of 

information about the oceans that we can target to a wide 

variety of users, from teachers and students to scientists 

working on this issue across the world.”

‘breathing’ trees predict
 

effects of global climate change
 

SMITHSONIAN TROPICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE 

A SMITHSONIAN PROGRAM maps and measures trees in tropical forests to better understand how forests 

respond to changing ecological circumstances. Gathering this information over years and expanding the effort 

worldwide to include temperate zone forests will increase our understanding of the impact of global climate change 

on biodiversity and lead to better decisions about land use. 

A CHECK-UP FOR THE PLANET 

In 1980, scientists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research 

Institute set out to map, measure, and tag every tree wider 

than a pencil in a 124-acre plot in 

a Panamanian rain forest. Every 

five years since then, institute 

scientists have counted and remeasured the trees in their plot 

and assessed change. Since all 

trees take up carbon dioxide, 

some scientists speculate that 

excess carbon dioxide may make 

trees grow faster, and if so, trees 

may be able to play a role 

in handling carbon emissions 

generated by human activities. 

Thus began the Smithsonian 

Institution Global Earth Observatories program, now grown to 

an unprecedented size and scope. Scientists from the 

Smithsonian and more than three dozen other 

organizations monitor forests at 20 plots in 15 countries, 

from Ecuador to Malaysia — 3 million trees and 8,300 

species representing more than 12 percent of all known 

tropical tree diversity.

SMITHSONIAN SCIENCE AT ITS BEST 

This international project involves scientists across the 

Smithsonian. Both the Smithsonian Environmental 

Research Center and the Conservation and Research 

Center at the Smithsonian’s National Zoological 

Park are establishing temperate forest sites that are 

compatible with the Global 

Earth Observatories. Scientists based at the National 

Museum of Natural History 

are taking a leading role in 

applying genetic techniques 

to study animals and plants 

through a DNA barcoding 

initiative. And both the 

Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the National 

Air and Space Museum will use satellite imagery to study 

forest health and carbon dynamics. “This project represents 

Smithsonian science at its best,” Acting Under Secretary 

for Science Ira Rubinoff says. “It addresses important 

societal concerns of global climate change and biodiversity, 

involves international partnerships, fosters Institutionwide 

scientific collaboration, and brings together a broad 

spectrum of financial support from philanthropists, 

corporations, foundations, universities, and the federal 

government.”

ENGAGE LOCALLY
 

As America’s museum, bringing the Smithsonian’s vast and 

deep resources directly to the nation’s cities and towns is an 

important part of our mission. We serve as advisers to 

museums in conserving and displaying their treasures, bring 

wonder and awe into community classrooms, and send 

artifacts and objects to enhance local exhibitions. As a 

repository of vast knowledge and a conduit of ideas, the 

Smithsonian serves the American people in Washington, 

D.C., and across the country.

visitors to be inspired by their 

connection to American history, 

to experience it both intellectually and emotionally.” 

BRENT GLASS, DIRECTOR, 

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF 

AMERICAN HISTORY 

THE SMITHSONIAN 

FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM 

each year hosts more than 

500 predoctoral students and 

postdoctoral scholars from 

a wide range of disciplines to 

work on independent 

research projects under the 

mentorship of the Institution’s 

world-renowned scientists 

and scholars. Fellows infuse 

the Smithsonian with new 

ideas and fresh approaches 

to research and create a 

talent pool from which the 

Institution can draw the 

next generation of experts. 

Increasing the number of 

fellowships available in the 

coming years is an 

institutional priority. 

“My Smithsonian fellowship 

was a life-changing experience, 

instrumental to my research 

and career overall. While at the 

Department of Anthropology, 

I met in-house and visiting 

scholars working with Native 

American culture and art and 

established a network that has 

been indispensable to my 

scholarly growth and work. 

The Smithsonian is beloved by 

Americans, who consider it the 

source for answers to almost 

any question, and Smithsonian 

fellows contribute mightily to 

the research that provides these 

answers. I am a passionate 

believer in the Smithsonian and 

the role it plays in enriching 

American cultural life.”

THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF 

AFRICAN AMERICAN 

HISTORY AND CULTURE is 

taking shape as pre-design 

and architectural planning 

for the Smithsonian’s 19th 

museum continue through 

2008. Save Our African 

American Treasures will tour 

the country to encourage 

the public to preserve and 

collect objects from African 

American history. The 

museum is building its 

audience through an 

IBM-designed Web site 

and is working with the 

Corporation for Public 

Broadcasting to gather 

and record the stories of 

African American families. 

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE 

(EOL), an Internet-based 

compendium of information, 

will present Web pages on 

1.8 million known species 

of animals, plants, and 

microorganisms. It is an 

ambitious project of 

internatonal scope and 

involvement that will increase 

our collective understanding 

of life on Earth. The EOL 

aims to complete the first 

1 million pages within five 

years. The Smithsonian is 

the leading partner, along 

with The Field Museum, 

the Marine Biological 

Laboratory, and Harvard 

University’s Museum of 

Comparative Zoology, in 

this collaborative effort. 

“The Encyclopedia of Life is 

designed to be a resource for 

everyone, from school children 

to scientists. Imagine the impact 

of an online database that not 

only offers a rich trove of information in multiple languages 

but also will help shorten the 

time it takes to describe new 

species by sharing vital data in 

real time. Data is coming in 

from partner institutions all 

over the world, and the first set 

of 30,000 species pages will be 

available at www.eol.org 

in early 2008. Smithsonian 

scientists and collections will 

be crucial to the successful completion of the EOL.” 

JAMES EDWARDS, 

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, 

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE 

“To design our museum, we 

must think about our collections. 

A Pullman car tells a great 

story but requires a space that 

accommodates a two-ton railroad car. We are also collecting 

memories — such as those of 

a Tuskegee Airman who shares 

his World War II experience 

— to create a community that 

remembers. And we can’t forget 

about the music. You can tap 

your toes to Sam Cooke and 

also learn what rhythm and 

blues said about changing racial 

dynamics in America. These 

stories and sounds are the heart 

of the African American 

experience and an important 

part of American history.”

financial report
 

FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 

THE OPENING of the National Zoological Park’s Cheetah 

Science Facility at the Conservation and Research Center in 

Front Royal, Virginia, and the completion of the spectacular 

Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard at the Donald W. 

Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture were 

major events in fiscal year 2007. The Smithsonian’s financial 

health continues to improve due to the stronger than expected 

private sector giving and the excellent year experienced by the 

Institution’s Endowment. The Endowment’s value grew substantially during the year, and the Smithsonian’s net assets 

increased by almost 10 percent, or $220 million, to a total of just 

under $2.5 billion, a record high. 

The Smithsonian receives funding from direct federal government appropriations, from other governmental entities, and 

from private sources. With private funds, the Institution 

undertakes new ventures and provides the critical difference 

for carrying out innovative research, expanding and strengthening our national collections, developing and building 

new facilities, opening state-of-the-art exhibitions, and 

reaching out to America’s diverse communities. Federal 

appropriations conserve our national collections; sustain basic 

research; educate the public; operate, maintain, and protect 

the large Smithsonian museum and research complex; and 

provide other administrative and support services. The 2007 

annual audit was conducted by KPMG LLP. For a complete 

set of audited financial statements, contact the Office of the 

Comptroller at (202) 633-7250.

SMITHSONIAN BUSINESS VENTURES 

Smithsonian Business Ventures, which provides critical, 

unrestricted funds to the Institution and its museums and 

contributes to its mission by helping to disseminate its 

work, encompasses Smithsonian and Air & Space magazines, 27 

museum stores, 11 restaurants, three IMAX theaters, and the 

Smithsonian Catalogue. Business Ventures also includes 

consumer product licensing, e-commerce, and commercial media 

enterprises. In 2007, total revenues were $166.9 million, a $2.5 

million, or 1.5 percent, increase from 2006. This increase was 

due to the impact of new businesses, including Smithsonian 

Networks and Smithsonian Student Travel, increased 

Smithsonian Catalogue sales, and extra issues of Smithsonian 

and Air & Space magazines. 

HIGHLIGHTS: 

•	 Smithsonian Networks launched its first television 

service, Smithsonian Channel, on the satellite distributor 

DirecTV, providing unique, Smithsonian-inspired programs 

in high-definition. 

•	 Smithsonian Journeys forged a marketing alliance with 

American Express that made Journeys a preferred provider 

for American Express Travel Related Services. 

• The 	 Publishing Group moved into digital media by 

re-launching the magazine Web site Smithsonian.com and 

launching goSmithsonian.com, a companion to the printed 

museum guide. Smithsonian magazine was nominated for a 

National Magazine Award, the industry’s highest honor. 

• The Licensing Group debuted its collection of licensed 

furniture, lighting, and home decorative products, 

“Smithsonian Collection for the Home,” inspired by objects in 

the Institution’s museums, libraries, and archival collections. 

•	 Retail Operations, led by significant gains at National Air 

and Space Museum stores and National Museum of Natural 

History stores, finished the year 9.5 percent ahead of the 

previous year in sales, when revenue from the National 

Museum of American History, closed in 2007, was excluded 

for comparison. Smithsonian stores in the Dulles and Newark 

airports increased sales over fiscal year 2006 by 25 percent 

and 19 percent, respectively.

assistance to the Smithsonian, Alice and David Rubenstein 

have made a $1 million gift to the National Museum of 

American History’s Star-Spangled Banner Campaign. 

Their generosity helps complete a stunning new home for 

this national treasure. The Rubensteins serve on three 

Smithsonian museum boards: David Rubenstein on the 

National Museum of American History and the National 

Museum of Natural History boards, and Alice Rubenstein 

on the National Museum of the American Indian board. 

SHELL 

A $1 million gift to the National Science Resources Center 

from Shell Exploration and Production Company funds 

an initiative to improve K-12 science education in school 

districts in New Orleans, Houston, and 

other communities. Established by 

the Smithsonian and the National 

Academies, the National Science 

Resources Center assists school districts 

in planning the redesign and improvement of science 

education programs, provides professional development for 

teachers, and facilitates the dissemination of research-based 

science instructional materials for elementary and 

secondary schools. Over the last 15 years, Shell has 

supported a wide range of Smithsonian museums, research 

centers, and programs. 

ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION 

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has made a grant of $2.5 

million to support the Encyclopedia of Life initiative and 

Biodiversity Heritage Library project, two consortia hosted, 

respectively, at the National Museum of Natural History 

and Smithsonian Institution Libraries. The first project is 

organizing on a single Web portal information about all 

known species on Earth. The second project is digitizing 

historic and rare books to make their knowledge accessible 

over the Internet. In past years, the Foundation has 

supported the Barcode of Life project, as well as other 

projects at the National Air and Space Museum and the 

National Museum of American History. 

SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA 

A new exhibition planned by the National Museum of 

Natural History will raise awareness of the soil beneath 

our feet and show the many ways in which soils are 

essential to human life and our world. The Soil Science 

Society of America is providing 

sponsorship support for Dig It! The Secrets of Soil with a generous cash gift and 

an in-kind contribution to develop 

materials related to the exhibition, 

including a Web site, marketing 

materials, and a DVD. The Society’s mission is to advance 

the discipline and practice of soil science. 

GUENTHER AND SIEWCHIN YONG SOMMER 

Guenther and Siewchin Yong Sommer have long been 

generous friends of the Smithsonian. A $1 million gift from 

them creates the Guenther and Siewchin Yong Sommer 

Endowment, a fund to support the maintenance, 

operations, and improvements of the galleries and 

exhibitions at the National Air and 

Space Museum’s National Mall 

building. This is the seventh 

endowment the Sommers have 

established at the Smithsonian. The 

others support a variety of programs, 

including exhibition galleries, 

collections, and traveling exhibitions. These commitments 

reflect their interest in the Smithsonian, its museums, and 

its programs. 

TARGET 

With its gift to Cooper-Hewitt, National Design 

Museum’s RE:DESIGN Capital Campaign, Target brings the museum closer 

to its campaign goal. Target has been a 

generous contributor to Cooper-Hewitt, 

sponsoring the 2006 and 2007 National 

Design Awards and National Design Weeks, as well as the 

exhibition Design Life Now: National Design Triennial 2006. 

In recognition of Target’s leadership to the campaign, the 

museum’s education facility is named the Target National 

Design Education Center. Target’s philanthropy has 

benefited nine Smithsonian museums and programs in 

addition to Cooper-Hewitt. 

VERIZON FOUNDATION 

A grant of $1 million from 

the Verizon Foundation 

makes it possible for 

the National Museum of 

American History to further develop its Web-based 

educational materials and distribute them to audiences 

through the Verizon Foundation’s literacy and education 

online portal, Thinkfinity.org. As a Thinkfinity Consortium 

member, the museum will create standards-based history 

activities for K-12 students and develop online tools that 

will encourage the Web site’s 2 million monthly teacher, 

student, and family visitors to use museum collections 

in innovative ways. Past support from Verizon 

Communications, Inc. has benefited the National Museum 

of the American Indian, the Smithsonian Asian Pacific 

American Program, and the Smithsonian American Art 

Museum.

CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS AND FRIENDS PROGRAM 

FOR 31 YEARS, James Smithson Society members have set an 

extraordinary example of personal philanthropy by providing crucial 

unrestricted funds to support Smithsonian endeavors in areas as 

diverse as art scholarship, environmental research, scientific discovery, 

and historical preservation. 

Its 560 member households, valued stewards of the Institution’s 

mission, live in 48 states and as far away as the United Kingdom and 

the Czech Republic. In 2007, the James Smithson Society provided 

$1.5 million to the Smithsonian. In just the last two years, program 

membership has grown by almost 25 percent. 

The Smithsonian’s Contributing Members and Friends program 

is one of the country’s largest museum membership programs. For 

42 years, its members have developed through their participation a 

deeper appreciation of the vast scope of the Smithsonian and its 

work, while forming an important national constituency in the 

Smithsonian’s annual fundraising efforts. This year, the program’s 

91,000 members and donors contributed $14 million in unrestricted 

funds, facilitating pan-institutional scholarship, scientific research, 

outreach, and exhibitions. 

James Smithson Society members, from left, Jim and Richie Wright, Lee Klein and 

Betsy Strohecker, Barbara Bonessa and Alan Perkins enjoy the 2007 James Smithson 

Society black-tie dinner at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and 

Portraiture.

OUTREACH, COUNSEL, AND SUPPORT 

SMITHSONIAN National Board members further the Institution’s mission through outreach activity in the communities in which 

they live, by contributing advice and counsel to the Smithsonian’s 

Secretary and leadership, and by helping the Institution raise the vital 

private funds it needs through their personal generosity and through 

their help with its fundraising efforts. 

In 2007, the Smithsonian National Board provided valued leadership, counsel, and assistance to the Smithsonian through its committees on outreach, education, and science. Its members and alumni 

were called upon to represent the Institution at home and abroad. 

To learn firsthand about the Institution’s ongoing contributions to 

science and biodiversity, the board held its winter meeting at the 

Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Throughout the 

year, members and alumni represented the Smithsonian across the 

country, hosting events in Chicago, Denver, and elsewhere. Individual board members participated in Smithsonian committees and task 

forces on the search for a new Secretary, leadership training, and business ventures. As an expression of their support of the Institution, 

the board raised $1.1 million in unrestricted funds, its largest amount 

ever, provided two science fellowships, and gave a total of $13.7 

million to the Institution.

BOARD OF REGENTS 

The Smithsonian is the world’s largest 

museum and research complex, with 

19 museums and the National Zoo, as 

well as research centers around the 

world. It was created by Congress in 

1846 under the terms of the will of 

James Smithson of England, who in 

1826 bequeathed his property to the 

United States of America “to found at 

Washington, under the name of the 

Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion 

of knowledge.” Congress vested 

responsibility for administration of the 

Smithsonian in the Board of Regents.
