20 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 



THE NATIONAL GALLERY LIBRARY 



Much-needed space was provided for the library by the installation 

 in room 382 of steel book stacks, giving about 250 feet of additional 

 shelving. On May 1, 1933, Miss Ruth Wenger, library assistant, was 

 detailed from the Smithsonian Library, and the organization of the 

 hbrary was begun. At the close of the year considerable progress had 

 been made in rearrangement and shelf-listing of the material and the 

 inauguration of a standardized card catalog. The checking of missing 

 parts of the gallery's serial publications progressed, and the recording 

 of much material was accomplished. During the year 499 volumes 

 and pamphlets were added by gift, exchange, and purchase. 



CARE OF COLLECTIONS 



The portraits and most of the sculpture which were in the lobby, 

 the northern entrance to the Natural History Building, have been 

 moved to the halls around the rotunda, where both the sculpture and 

 paintings appear to good advantage. Ten statues still remain in the 

 lobby and 10 paintings have been selected from the permanent 

 collection for exhibition there.
