The Smithsonian Institution is an independent trust instrumentality of theUnited States that fosters the increase and diffusion of knowledge.History, technology, science, and the arts are represented in exhibitsthrough the conduct of research, publication of studies, and participationin cooperative international programs of scholarly exchange.

The Smithsonian Institution was created by act of August 10,

1846 (20 U.S.C. 41 et seq.), to carry out the terms of the will of JamesSmithson of England, who in 1829 had bequeathed his entire estate to theUnited States ``to found at Washington, under the name of the SmithsonianInstitution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion ofknowledge.'' On July 1, 1836, Congress accepted the legacy and pledged thefaith of the United States to the charitable trust.

After accepting the trust property for the United States,Congress vested responsibility for administering the trust in theSmithsonian Board of Regents, composed of the Chief Justice, the VicePresident, three Members of the Senate, three Members of the House ofRepresentatives, and nine citizen members appointed by joint resolution ofCongress.

To carry out Smithson's mandate, the Institution:

-- performs fundamental research;

-- publishes the results of studies, explorations, andinvestigations;

-- preserves for study and reference some 139 million items ofscientific, cultural, and historical interest;

-- maintains exhibits representative of the arts, Americanhistory, technology, aeronautics and space exploration, and natural

history; and

-- engages in programs of education and national andinternational cooperative research and training, supported by its trustendowments and gifts, grants and contracts, and funds appropriated to itby Congress.

divisions, as follows: atomic and molecular physics, radio andgeoastronomy, high-energy astrophysics, optical and infrared astronomy,planetary sciences, solar and stellar physics, and theoreticalastrophysics.

Data-gathering facilities include a major observatory inArizona, field stations to observe artificial satellites, an optical andradio astronomy facility in Massachusetts, and a radio astronomy andmillimeter-wave facility in Texas. The Smithsonian AstrophysicalObservatory's observational capabilities are complemented by library,computation, and laboratory facilities in Cambridge.



Research results are published in the Center Preprint Series,Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics, the SAO Special Reports series,and other technical and nontechnical bulletins, and distributed toscientific and educational institutions around the world. As a furtherservice to international science, the Smithsonian AstrophysicalObservatory serves as the headquarters for the International AstronomicalUnion's Central Telegram Bureau and the Minor Planet Center.
