Linda Thrift, Head of the Office of Collections Information & Research, talks about her work and the Catalog of American Portraits (CAP).  For research questions, contact the Portrait Gallery at npgresearch@si.edu.
 
The Catalog of American Portraits (CAP) is a national portrait archives maintaining information and images for nearly 200,000 portraits. Learn more at: http://npg.si.edu/research/ceros.html
 
The CAP maintains records of historically significant American portraits, i.e., portraits of notable American subjects or by notable American artists. New material is added regularly from various sources, including an ongoing survey of portraits held in public and private collections across the country and abroad. Generally, only one-of-a-kind likenesses are recorded, such as paintings, sculpture, drawings, miniatures, silhouettes, and daguerreotypes. Photographs, engravings, etchings, lithographs, and other graphic arts are generally not surveyed by the CAP; however, portraits in these media are included if they are in the collections or exhibitions of the National Portrait Gallery.
