The Biodiversity Heritage Library and the Encyclopedia of Life shared a table at the Congressional Family Night held at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.

The event (March 1, 2008) showcased a wide range of scientific endeavors engaged in by Smithsonian staff and was attended by members of Congress, their staff, and families.
