Scope and Contents
Papers in subseries 5 relate to two books published by the Smithsonian Press/Smithsonian Books titled Anthropology Explored, the Best of Smithsonian AnthroNotes (1998, 2004), with the second edition expanded and accompanied by an Instructors' Guide. SI Press sales information documents the book's course adoption by U.S. high school and college instructors teaching introductory anthropology. Folder materials also document the input of advisory committees of teachers and Smithsonian scholars, and the work of college interns, whose work helped Selig and her team produce final manuscripts for the two books. The challenge of obtaining permission for the photographs shown on the book's front and back covers' (cave art photographs taken by French photographer Jean Vertut, whose widow Madame Vertut lived in a small French village still holding the copyright for her late husband's photographs of French cave art) is also documented. Finally, materials detail the marketing efforts of the editors/interns as well as a computer student intern from American University, who used the internet exclusively to market the book's second edition in 2004-06. Additional materials regarding the two books can be found in Series 6, Subseries 4, Folder 2 (Professional/Society for American Archaeology/SAA Excellence in Public Education Award, 2002).
