It achieves these goals by maintaining the nation's largest permanent collection of moving image artifacts and by offering exhibitions, film screenings, lectures, seminars, and other education programs.

The invention of photography was one of the most significant events of the 19th century, irrevocably changing our perception of reality. "Here is a discovery launched upon the world, that must make a revolution in art," declared the New Yorker shortly before Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre's groundbreaking process was announced in Paris on August 19, 1839. This new technique of producing exact likenesses on a sheet of silver-plated copper soon became a sensation in the United States. Studios opened in every major city; itinerant artists traveled the countryside. Noted for their silvery, mirrorlike sheen, daguerreotypes framed the faces of the nation's great men and women, caught the spirit of Westward expansion and chronicled much of mid-19th-century American life.

We bill ourselves as "A Museum Without Walls... For An Art Without Boundaries." Even though we have no walls, we do have "floors," separate areas for different activities. At the bottom of most pages, you'll find a navigation bar that will let you choose our Exhibitions floor, our Main Entrance floor, our Research Center or our Museum Shops. Just click on the place you want to visit. Or click on the Museum's logo and you'll find yourself transported to our Home Page.

The KLI is an advanced research center in theoretical biology. Through its board members, fellows, and activities, the institute maintains strong ties to the University of Vienna.
In its name the institute pays homage to the Nobel laureate Konrad Lorenz, whose work laid the foundation of an evolutionary approach to mind and cognition, and in whose turn-of-the-century family mansion the KLI is located

The article presents the history of the Warsaw Zoological Collection, as well as institutions connected with it. The beginning of this collection stretches down to 1819 - the year in which a collection of ca 20.000 specimens of animals, mainly birds, was bought for the Zoological Cabinet of the Royal University of Warsaw. The Cabinet, together with the library, was organized and for 43 years managed by Feliks Pawel Jarocki. The finest period in the history of the Cabinet was in the 3rd quarter of XIX century under Wladyslaw Taczanowski's guidance, when many Polish Zoologists from the country and from abroad enriched it with their own collections. In 1887 a private Zoological Museum was created by the Branicki family with a rich collection of various vertebrates, mainly birds.

My criteria for selecting documents to annotate are admittedly fluid. I give emphasis to studies which emerged as important to later planning, but also include those that help to illustrate the wide range of moon and Mars options. Romance to Reality is meant to be a primer for building the future, not merely a catalog of unrealized dreams. - David S. F. Portree
