Bibliography of Secondary Sources Relating to Baltimore History

This bibliography is based on the work of
Dean Krimmel, Anita Kassof, and Richard Longstreth

This bibliography was begun by Dean Krimmel in the late 1980s during the initial planning phase for the Baltimore City Life Museums’ long-term exhibition I AM THE CITY. In the spring of 1996, it was divided into the following sections to reflect the exhibition’s thematic organization, and subsequently amended to include a bibliography of built Baltimore by Richard Longstreth.  Suggestions for additions, updates, and reorganization are welcome.  Email us at msa.bca@maryland.gov.
