IN BALTIMORE AND MARYLAND
Compiled by Richard Longstreth
This compilation focuses on scholarly work concerning the history of the built environment in Baltimore and other parts of Maryland. Several important general and pictorial histories are included as well. I have not included citations for Montgomery and Prince George's counties because the great majority of these materials are foremost related to the Washington metropolitan area. Most writings date from the past three decades.
Many titles still in print and an extensive bibliography of period sources will be available for purchase at the meeting. A major study of Annapolis and its region is being prepared for the 1997 Vernacular Architecture Forum annual meeting.
Thanks go to David Chase, Peter Kurtze, Therese O'Malley, Orland Ridout V, Walter Schamu, Damie Stiliman, and Robert Vogel for adding to this list.
