LBPD Guest Hour: Maryland State Archives

Join Jennifer Abbott from the Maryland State Archives to discuss Women's History Month. The State Archives serves as the central depository for government records of permanent value. Its holdings date from Maryland's founding in 1634 and include colonial and state executive, legislative, and judicial records; county probate, land, and court records; church records; business records; state publications and reports; and special collections of private papers, maps, photographs, and newspapers. These records are kept in a humidity and temperature-controlled environment, and any necessary preservation measures are conducted in the Archives' conservation laboratory.
