Founded in 1849, the Smithsonian International Exchange Service assisted international and national literary and scientific institutions by disseminating and exchanging publications. Beginning in the 1880s, it was responsible for the official exchange of government publications between the United States and foreign countries. The Service finally closed in 1992 due to the rise of information exchange through the internet.
