Smithsonian Open Access

The Smithsonian is offering open access to millions of online resources from its collections. Here is a quick tutorial on accessing these resources.

The opening screen offers several opportunities to explore the site. If you just scroll down on this opening page, you should find a search box you can use to begin an exploration.

I needed a demo topic so I decided to search for information about Apple computers. Apple and I go back to the Apple II and I wanted to see what they had.

So, the search turned up 40 hits on Apple computer and then lists the options underneath. I was most interested in the computer I first used so I selected the link to Apple II.

Looks just like my first Apple II. No lower case type and this small monitor.

Educators are directed to a special site for resources.
