ARCHIVIST OF THE HALL OF RECORDS 19
Our daily work leads us to the many records depositories,
museums and art galleries in our area, sometimes we must go farther
afield. Mrs. Carr has made several additional trips to Baltimore and
the counties in pursuance of her work on the revised edition of the
Maryland Guide. Mrs. Jacobsen has been especially interested in the
Quaker records and this interest led her to Stony Run Meeting, Home-
wood Meeting and the Quaker collection at Swarthmore College. Mr.
Weatherly has found it necessary to visit the American Philosophical
Society in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Historical Society Library
and the Frick Art Gallery in his studies of Maryland portraits and
Maryland furniture.
