Portraits of Scientists and Inventors

The Smithsonian is happy to join the Flickr community. Take a short survey and tell us how we’re doing.

The Smithsonian Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology has a collection of more than a thousand portraits of scientists and inventors through the centuries. This small sampling of the collection gives an idea of the range of the collection. Visit “Scientific Identity: Portraits from the Dibner Library” to see the entire collection.
