STAFF ACTIVITIES 



An increasing amount of staff time is devoted to reorganization and 

 planning in preparation for removal to the Old Patent Office Build- 

 ing. Adaptation of NCFA collections and functions to the space 

 allotted, certain areas of which must be shared jointly with the newly- 

 authorized National Portrait Gallery, demands much of the director's 

 time. Recommendations of many features essential to modern gal- 

 lery operation are required in the conversion of a historic structure 

 erected a century ago. Assistance of the staff of the Smithsonian, 

 especially in providing the services of consultants, Eugene Kingman 

 for exhibition teclmiques. Dr. Anthony Garvan for historical research 

 on the Old Patent Office Building, and Dr. Richard H. Howland for 

 architectural character of interior design, has been much appreciated. 

 Professional advice from construction specialists and staff members of 

 the architectural firm of Faulkner, Kingsbury & Stenhouse, has been 

 found most helpful. Guidance of the Public Buildings Service, Gen- 

 eral Services Administration, has been indispensable.
