    Abstract:
    Review: First launched in 2020, the Smithsonian Open Access portal provides an inroad to copyright-free digital materials from the far-ranging collections of the Smithsonian Institution. As a freely available web repository accessible to anyone with a browser connection, Smithsonian Open Access opens the intellectual doors of its many divisions, presenting everything from data sets and 3D models to archival material, field notes, biological specimens, and images of artwork, all without restrictions on reuse. In 2020, the Smithsonian released 3 million digital objects into the Open Access portal, and at present over 4.5 million digital objects are included. The materials are drawn from the Smithsonian’s nine research centers, nineteen museums, institutional archives and museums, as well as the National Zoo, representing the arts, the sciences, the humanities, and cultural history.
