This collection consists of two motion pictures documenting the trips of William and Lucile Mann to Brazil, Argentina, and Guyana to collect animals for the National Zoological Park (NZP). Additional materials in the collection that were not cataloged include other motion pictures taken by veterinarians, keepers, directors, and other staff at the National Zoological Park (NZP) for research and documentation purposes. The motion pictures, along with footage shot for television news and other programs, were kept by the Office of Education as part of their mission to disseminate information to the public.
Many of SIA's holdings are located off-site, and advance notice is recommended to consult a collection. Please email the SIA Reference Team at osiaref@si.edu.
