On Febmary 24, 1960, Letitia Kennedy-Skipton, Jean Preston and
Ruth Pryor, English students of archives, came to the Hall of Records
to learn something of our cataloguing methods and to see our record-
keeping facilities. Our first visitor from West Germany, Alfred Wagner
of the Bundesarchiv, Koblentz, spent a day in March with us. In this
case we learned more from the visitor than he did from us because he
was able to tell us the whole story of the development of a new archival
establishment which had to begin at the beginning—the Archives of
old Germany remained, unfortunately, in the Russian zone.

Guy Weatherly took The American University course in Preserva-
tion and Administration of Archives, and Jackson S. Saunders attended
one semester of the course in American Constitutional Development at
the same University.

VISITS AND VISITORS

In addition to the visitors mentioned above, there were many
others with special missions. We were especially happy to receive the
District Superintendents of the Baltimore Annual Conference of the
Methodist Church: Reverend Edgar W. Beckett, Reverend Clarence L.
Fossett, Reverend Daniel W. Justice, Reverend Robert H. Parker,
Reverend Orris G. Robinson, and Reverend Paul F. Warner. The pur-
pose of this visit was to discuss the church records program of the Hall
of Records Commission. We believe that the meeting was useful and
that we may look forward to an enthusiastic response from the Meth-
odist clergy when we are ready to undertake the collection of Methodist
records of Maryland.
