The Maryland History and Culture Bibliography

The Maryland History and Culture Bibliography consists of citations to articles, books, and doctoral dissertations about various aspects of Maryland's history and culture, divided into a set of standard subject categories. The citations are gathered from scholarly journals, local and state history-related newsletters and magazines, subject indexes to monographs and journals, publishers' catalogs, and electronic databases, among other sources.

Genealogy-related works are not included unless they are of a more general nature, for example, indexes to various types of vital records or Civil War muster rolls.

The Maryland History and Culture Bibliography is primarily based on the annual bibliography of Maryland history sources that appears in the Maryland Historical Magazine. Citations in the bibliography date from the mid-1970s through 2002. Past compilers: Dorothy M. Brown and Richard R. Duncan (1973), Richard J. Cox (1974-1982), William LeFurgy and Peter H. Curtis (1983-1986), Anne S. K. Turkos and Peter H. Curtis (1987-1991), and Anne S. K. Turkos and Jeff Korman (1992-present). Annotations were added as part of the original Maryland Humanities Council project. Updates will be added in 2008 and in regular intervals thereafter.

The Maryland History and Culture Bibliography database was originally created by the Maryland Humanities Council in 2000. The University of Maryland Libraries assumed responsibility for the continued access and updating of the database in 2008.
