"The holdings of the Smithsonian's archival, library and specialized
research collections can be found online in the Smithsonian Institution
Research Information System ( <http://www.siris.si.edu> SIRIS). With over
1,700,000 records, SIRIS covers a wide variety of topical subjects from Art
& Design, to History & Culture, to Science & Technology. The materials
combine to shed light on innumerable historical events, scientific
discoveries, cultural happenings, artistic styles, and social conditions.
Ranging from the mundane to the momentous, the Smithsonian collections
provide documentary evidence that both reveals our past and fosters new
discoveries.
Entries in the SIRIS online catalog are often accompanied by digitized
images and finding aids".

"Manners are of more importance
than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us
by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air
we breathe in."
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
