- Scope and Contents
- In June of 1985, Selig began her administrative career when director Rickard Fiske invited her to become his special assistant. Subseries 2 documents several special projects Selig undertook while working as Special Assistant to four Museum Directors: Richard Fiske (and his deputy director/acting director James Tyler), Robert S. Hoffmann, Robert W. Fri, and Cristián Samper, as well as a Memorial Service she organized for Robert Hoffmann in 2010. Materials include letters, speeches, proposals, and Reports describing these projects, including the first Official Guide to the National Museum of Natural History, the McKinsey Company's pro bono strategic planning process that Selig solicited and coordinated, and the Institut fur Deutsche Ostarbeit (IDO) Project that returned a WWII collection of archival papers to the Jagiellonian University Archives in Poland. Materials also reflect Selig's work as co-chair of the Smithsonian Forum on Material Culture and her tenure as Chair of the Board of the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center [SEEC], including her monthly column ("Board's Eye View") for the SEEC Newsletter, Museum Mews, a column exploring various educational topics.
