content: Series 4, Administration, is organized under the Smithsonian offices in which Selig worked as the special, executive, or confidential assistant to a Senior Smithsonian Official, including four Directors of the National Museum of Natural History (Richard Fiske, Robert S. Hoffmann, Robert Fri, and Cristián Samper); one Assistant Secretary (Robert S.  Hoffmann); two Provosts (Robert S. Hoffmann and J. Dennis O'Connor); and two Smithsonian Secretaries (Acting Secretary Cristián Samper and Secretary G. Wayne Clough). These files, for the most part, do not duplicate the official records found elsewhere such as the Smithsonian Institution Archives that houses the official records of Smithsonian officials. Series 4 also includes work Selig did for William W. Fitzhugh, Douglas Ubelaker, and Igor Krupnik of the Department of Anthropology. Series 4 is divided into 5 subseries: 1) Department of Anthropology; 2) Office of the Director, National Museum of Natural History; 3) SI Office of the Assistant Secretary; 4) SI Office of the Provost; and 5) SI Office of the Secretary.
