. Annual report for the year ended June 30 .... United States National Museum. 8 V. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 195 8 for the new museum so that exhibits installed in the Arts and Industries building may be readUy transferred to the Museum of History and Technology when that structure is completed. During the year Joseph George Weiner, publications writer, assumed responsibility for the editing of all exhibits labels, Eugene Kingman, director of the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebr., aided both curators and designers as exhibits planning consultant, and in May, Carroll Lusk, museum lighting specialist of Richmond, Va., began a period of service as exhibits lighting consultant. Anthropology On the evening of December 8, 1957, Mrs. Mabel A. Byrd, adminis- trative assistant to the director of the museum and herself of Seneca Indian descent, cut a ribbon to open formally the second Indian hall to the public. In the dedication ceremony Dr. Leonard Carmichael paid tribute to the many farsighted men and women who, over a period of a century and a half, collected the ethnological specimens displaj^ed in this hall. With an adjoining hall depicting the Indians of California, the Southwest, and Latin America, renovated in 1955, this completes the modernization of exhibits interpreting the ethnology of the Americas. Exhibits in this hall portray the traditional cultures of the Eskimos and of the Indians of the Subarctic region, the Eastern Woodlands,. %if_.
