史密森尼美国革命时期藏品数据集是史密森尼开放获取语料库的一个特别精选子集，创建于革命十字路口项目，以纪念美国建国250周年。它汇集了来自四个史密森尼博物馆（美国国家历史博物馆、国家邮政博物馆、史密森尼美国艺术博物馆和国家肖像画廊）的描述性记录和相关图像，这些记录大致可追溯到1770-1810年，即美国革命和早期共和国时期。数据集包括：12,667条描述博物馆物品和档案项目的记录；从史密森尼开放访问JSON转换为Parquet格式以进行分析的元数据字段；以及3,941条链接到数字替代品（缩略图图像和完整对象文件）的记录。该数据集旨在支持文化遗产与人工智能交叉领域的研究和实验，为探索美国革命时期的物质文化、测试将描述性元数据与图像连接的多模态方法以及开发分析、可视化和发现工具提供了结构化语料库。

The Smithsonian Revolutionary Era Collections dataset is a specially selected subset of the Smithsonian’s Open Access corpus, created as part of the Revolution Crossroads project in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States. It brings together descriptive records and related images from across four Smithsonian museums—the National Museum of American History, the National Postal Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the National Portrait Gallery—that roughly date to the period 1770–1810, the era of the American Revolution and early republic. The dataset includes: 12,667 records describing museum objects and archival items; Metadata fields converted from Smithsonian Open Access JSON to Parquet format for analysis; and 3,941 records linked to digital surrogates (thumbnail images and full object files). This dataset was assembled to support research and experimentation at the intersection of cultural heritage and artificial intelligence. It provides a structured corpus for exploring American Revolutionary-era material culture, testing multimodal approaches that link descriptive metadata with images, and developing tools for analysis, visualization, and discovery.
