Donna Hayashi Smith, a member of the White House’s Office of the Curator for over two decades, has been appointed as the new curator.
The curator oversees the White House’s collection of historic artifacts, artwork and furniture. Smith succeeds Lydia Tederick, becoming the first Asian American to hold the position. She became acting chief curator in June, after Tederick’s retirement last year.
Smith has served under five presidential administrations since joining the Office of the Curator in 1995. Her previous roles include serving as administrative assistant, collections manager, associate curator and registrar. Smith played a key role in recently maintaining the White House’s accredited museum status under the American Alliance of Museums.
