From 1920 to 1965, the annual reports are addressed to the Chief Officer of the United States National Museum.  After 1965, they are addressed from the chairman of the Department to the director of the National Museum  and, then, to the National Museum of Natural History. In several years, there are copies of the reports addressed to the Secretary of the Institution for Smithsonian Year.
