| 56 3. Findings Relevant to Museums, Cultural _________Parks, and Centers_________ Both inside and outside of Maryland, there are thought to exist a number of private archives with holdings relevant to the history and legacy of slavery in this state and such holdings seem not to be catalogued mostly in any one place. The Task Forces notes that an important directory entitled Maryland's Museums and Preservations Organi7atinns was published in 1999 with a "Forward" by First Lady of the State Frances Hughes Glendening. It remains a task to be undertaken, however, for a survey inclusive of each of those institutions and organizations as well as new ones that are coming on line to be undertaken to ascertain what, if any, archival and/or material holdings they possess with relevance to the history and legacy of slavery in Maryland. It also remains for a determination to made as to the State's official interest in where such information should be lodged and how often it should be updated. Also, there seems not to exist any publicly available index of the holdings that recently passed from the City Life Museums of Baltimore City to the Maryland Historical Society. |
