The Calvert Library
Through research in secondary and primary sources, staff at the University of Maryland Libraries has created a list of publications that George and Rosalie Calvert would have likely read while living in the Riversdale Mansion from 1803 until 1838.
For more information see the sections on the project's history and methodology as well as the essays and bibliographies.
The list is organized by subject:
- Agriculture
- Gardening and Landscape Design
- History, Science, Geography, and Travel
- Law and Finance
- Literature
- Periodicals and Newspapers
- Reference
- Religion
- Schoolbooks and Juvenile Literature
The location and call number is noted in brackets if the University of Maryland Libraries owns a copy. In some cases, the Libraries may not own the exact edition listed in the list; this information is also provided.
Several symbols are used throughout the list to indicate the sources that suggested these titles. A Key to the Symbols is provided at the end of the list.

George and Rosalie Calvert were avid readers of newspapers and periodicals. They regularly purchased the leading newspapers from the major cities of the United States and Europe, and they would have subscribed to local periodicals on a variety of topics. The Calverts’ political leanings as Federalists would have made the couple more likely to read Federalist publications.
