Maryland History and Culture Team
Work Plan 2008
- Maryland History and Culture Collaborative: Continue to work with this statewide group to strengthen communication between information professionals who deal specifically with materials relating to Maryland History and Culture. This will be done via meetings, a reflector list, and the blog. Some specific activities include:
- Visiting repositories across the state
- Contributing to the Maryland Repository directory set up by Enoch Pratt
- Work with Collaborative to identify a possible shared digital project, such as the Civil War in Maryland
- Work with Collaborative to reach out to History Day students
- Plan at least two meetings of the Maryland History and Culture Collaborative
- Electronic State Documents: Stay informed about actions and outcomes of statewide task force report
- Continue work developing a comprehensive collection policy for Maryland studies.
- Ideally, each member of the team will write at least one more collection policy in a particular subject area in 2007. For existing policies, please see:
- Guide Harmonization: Because many of the subject guides available mesh with subject areas identified in our collection policy, we will review our web sites to eliminate redundancy, as well as to provide key access points.
- Continue to share information about collection acquisitions and potential purchases.
- Continue to investigate options for updating and expanding electronic version of Maryland History and Culture Bibliography
- 2008 Maryland-related exhibits
- The Well-Dressed Book: Cloth Book Binding in the United States 1830-1920 (Spring 2007, Maryland Room Gallery)
- Special Collections Collaborative "Year of the Potato" exhibits - library-wide
