The Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) project was a nationwide inventory of outdoor sculptures. From 1990-1995, volunteers across the United States collected information on the history and condition of outdoor sculpture in their local communities. The information collected is part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's online Inventory of American Sculpture database. SOS! was jointly sponsored by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Heritage Preservation, Inc. This collection includes documents created by the Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) project in Alameda County, California, chiefly inventory forms containing written descriptions of sculptures and usually accompanied by photographs or slides of the sculptures. Includes information on works by prominent, lesser-known, and unidentified artists, as well as some architects.
