In addition, the Archives maintains vital records for the 23 counties and Baltimore City. For a general description of these records, see: A Guide to Government Records at the Maryland State Archives: A Comprehensive List by Agency and Records Series. See also the following publications available at the Archives: • Suggested Resources for African American History • Researching Black Families at the Maryland Hall of Records by Phebe Jacobsen • "From Frederick to Thurgood" - An African American History of Baltimore - an on-line research project Special Collections The department of Special Collections at the Maryland State Archives supervises the care, preservation, accessioning and description of non-government records. These records are usually acquired by the Archives through gifts or deposits by private donors and generally consist of personal letters, diaries, photographs, maps, and manuscript documents. • African American Newspapers Newspapers provide a contemporary record of daily life in Maryland. Unfortunately, the deterioration of these valuable historical documents has become a serious conservation issue. Since 1979, the Maryland State Archives has cooperated with concerned individuals, historical agencies, libraries, and newspaper publishers in the Maryland Newspaper Project, the only comprehensive program of its kind for Maryland. Although targeted for preservation, few issues of African American newspapers were located for microfilming. Single issues of the Afro-American Ledger (Baltimore) and the Negro Appeal (Baltimore; Annapolis) exist in the Archives' collections as well as scattered issues of the Lancet (Baltimore) on microfilm for the years 1902-1903. Additional African American newspapers -Afro-American (Baltimore: 1892-1900?), Afro-American (Capital edition)' (Baltimore: 19327-1937?), Afro-American (National edition) (Baltimore: 1915-), American Citizen (Baltimore: 1879-?), Commonwealth (Baltimore: 1915-1915?), Ledger (Baltimore: 1898-1899), Lyceum Observer (Baltimore: 1863-?), andRace Standard (Baltimore: 18947-1898?) -- are available at other Maryland institutions. See: Nancy M. Bramucci and Elizabeth EUis, eds.. Guide to Maryland Newspapers (Annapolis: Maryland State Archives, draft 1995) for title history and source information. • Bank Records Pas;e4of 13 |
