The Indexing Projects for Historic Annapolis began June 14, 1965.
This activity is financed by a grant of $5,000 from the State of Mary-

In general, the work consists of indexing Anne Arundel County and
Annapolis City records in the Hall of Records.

Mr. Skordas, in addition to assisting in the Genealogical and

On January 7, 1965, Professors John McCleary and George
Beishong accompanied their history classes of Towson State College
on a visit to the Hall of Records where our work was explained to the

The National Archives sponsored a Symposium on Paperwork
and Copy Equipment in Washington, November 16-17, 1964 which
Mr. Beach and Mr. Brown attended. The National Archives also

tion at the American University. Mr. Brown is a candidate for the M.A.
