Maryland State Archives' Traveling Exhibit Program
Theme: The interaction of the inhabitants and ecology of the
Chesapeake Bay watershed with the settlers, plants, animals and diseases of
Europe and Africa, from the first encounter until the beginning of the
industrial age in the early 19th century.
Format: Six full-color panels with images and text mounted on
wooden columns. Each panel is 8' wide x 4' high and the overall height of
the exhibit is about 7'6". For smaller spaces, the panels can be mounted

Panels can also be mounted on the wall on brackets.
