Two New Books - Available for Purchase Online

The Archives is very proud to announce the publication of two new books, both featuring original scholarship based on decades of research by our staff.
For the first time in its 250 year history, there is now a comprehensive guide to the Maryland State House, featuring the history of its architecture, memorials and artwork. The Maryland State House: 250 Years of History is a beautifully designed, 104-page tour of this National Historic Landmark, illustrated with stunning contemporary photography and fascinating historic images. As the State House is closed to the public for the foreseeable future, this book is a wonderful way to study and enjoy one of Maryland’s--and America’s--most historic buildings.
This February, in time for the dedication of the new statues of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass in the State House, we were pleased to release a new edition of A Guide to the History of Slavery in Maryland. This new publication greatly enhances the original 2007 edition, featuring new images and information that document the scholarship and sources available for interpreting not only the history of those who were enslaved in Maryland, but also the lives of those who sought to make a life here after Emancipation, and the many challenges and obstacles that prevented so many from truly obtaining that promised freedom.
For those of you who are local to the Annapolis area, these books are available at Back Creek Books at 194 Main Street and the Historic Annapolis Museum Shop at 99 Main Street. They can also be purchased through Amazon.
