Week Thirteen at Maryland State Archivs

Last week was quite busy. I spent part of the week record stripping and conducting research of the Maryland State Colonization Society papers. On Tuesday, I led a portion of a teacher workshop in Prince George’s County. On Thursday, I attended a lunchtime lecture by local African American historian and genealogist, Agnes Kane Callum. I finished the week by attending Bmore Historic, an unconference on public history, historic preservation, and community development in Baltimore and throughout the state of Maryland. I liked this format as it was very conducive to networking and allowing attendees to share information. I led a session on social media, which was well attended and gave me some great ideas for implementing our social media initiative at the Maryland State Archives.
