The official publication of the Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation, no. 6: Conservation of the Exterior of the National Museum of the American Indian Building is now available as a downloadable PDF at the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press website at http://opensi.si.edu/index.php/smithsonian/catalog/book/78.

The Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian building on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., has a significant problem with dark staining on its facade. This volume brings together papers from studies undertaken by the Smithsonian's Museum Conservation Institute to understand the staining problem, suggest procedures for the 2011 cleaning intervention, and propose test studies for the development of a maintenance plan for the building.
