The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 12:30 p.m. and the special guests were introduced
Dr. Papenfuse told the Commi
ssion that the artist Florence Bahr had died in a fire in her house and studio in January and that, at the request of the family, Archives' staff had gone there and salvaged as much of the collection as it could and had appraised the collection. It is of historical importance because Mrs. Bahr had attended many important events in Maryland history, including the trials of H. Rap Brown and Marvin Mandel and made many sketches. The family was very grateful for the help of Archives' staff and wants much of the collection to come to the Archives.
The following resolution was proposed: It is hereby resolved that all copies of documents in whatever form that are produced, as well as all finding aids in what ever form they are produced, as well as any interpretive booklets, pamphlets, and other materials in what ever form produced, by the State Archives or for the State Archives, are considered to be publications in the Archives of Maryland series, and that any income received from those copies, finding aids, interpretive booklets, pamphlets, and other materials should be deposited to the Archives of Maryland fund account.
On a motion by Judge Bell, seconded by Mr. Nelson, the Commission
approved the proposed resolution.
The Commission established a subcommittee consisting of Dr. Ridgeway,
Mr. deLorenzo, and Dr. Phillips to explore this matter further.
