Historical Note
Summary:Anne St. Clair Wright, a dedicated historic preservationist and landscape designer, greatly impacted the historic preservation field in Annapolis, MD and across the country during the second half of the twentieth-century. As a leading founder of Historic Annapolis, Inc. in 1952 (now Historic Annapolis Foundation), she was the first to advocate for the preservation of an entire historic district instead of a specific historic property or site. As a result of Wrights activism, downtown Annapolis was designated as a Historic District and a Registered National Landmark by Stewart Udall, secretary of the interior, in 1965. Under Wrights leadership, Historic Annapolis was able to restore more than 30 buildings of all types, from the mansions of the elite to the homes and businesses of common citizens, throughout the eighteenth-century core of the city. Her work with Historic Annapolis set important precedents for other preservationists interested in saving streetscapes, towns, and historic communities.
Full History:Anne St. Clair Wright was born in 1910 in Newport News, Virginia. As a child of a Navy family, she spent her youth in many different countries. She first came to Annapolis in 1912 and stayed there until 1914, when the family began a long period of traveling. After high school in North Carolina, Wright attended Mary Baldwin College in Virginia and received a B.A. from the Maryland Institute of Fine Arts in Baltimore in 1932. She married Navy Captain Joseph Martin Pickett Wright in 1932 in Panama and permanently settled in Annapolis in 1953 when Captain Wright retired from the Navy.
Wright devoted much of her work with Historic Annapolis to beautifying and preserving the historic landscape of the town. Her largest garden project was the archaeological excavation and restoration of the private garden of William Paca, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. She also managed the restoration of the William Paca House, the keystone project of Historic Annapolis, which began in 1970 with the aid of state and federal funding and private monies raised by Wright. Her other historic building projects in Annapolis included Brice House, Calvert Site, Clarks Pond, Hancocks Resolution, Jonas Green House, Reynolds Tavern, Shiplap House, and many others.
Wright held numerous civic volunteer offices throughout her life, including: advisor for Maryland, National Trust for Historic Preservation; commissioner, Maryland Commission on the Capital City; director, Society for the Preservation of Maryland Antiquities; chairman of the Board, Preservation Action; member, Mid-Atlantic Regional Advisory Committee of the U.S. National Park Service; member, Committee of Twenty to establish goals and programs for the National Trust for Historic Preservation; director, Nature Conservancy; trustee, Maryland Environmental Trust; director, Southern Garden History Society; member at large, Garden Club of America; and member, Governor's Maryland Scenic Beauty Commission.
Wrights pivotal contributions to historic preservation in Annapolis earned her national recognition for her dedication and activism in the field. She received many awards during her lifetime, including a citation for service in preservation by the Maryland House of Delegates and a distinguished citizens award by Maryland Governor, J. Millard Tawes, both in 1965; the Louise DuPont Crowninshield Award in 1968; an honorary doctoral degree from Towson State University in 1975 (one of the first in the nation for Preservation); Woman of the Year award in 1975 by the Maryland Colonial Society; an honorary degree as a doctor of public service from the University of Maryland in 1985; the Phoenix Award from the American Society of Travel Writers in 1985; in 1992 Family Circle Magazine featured her as one of the Women Who Make A Difference. In 1997, four years after Wrights death, the University of Maryland established a graduate scholarship in Historic Preservation in her name. Wrights passion for historic preservation is remembered annually at the St. Clair Wright Lecture Series held in Annapolis each spring.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Anne St. Clair Wright papers consist of materials that document Wrights career with Historic Annapolis, Inc. (now Historic Annapolis Foundation), a prominent historic preservation group in Annapolis that she helped found in 1952, as well as her work in other private and public sectors.

Processing Information
Processed by Laura Kopp Starr, May 2009 and Tiffany Draut, March 2012.
There was no particular arrangement to the collection when it was received except that files were loosely grouped into broad chronological files. Therefore, the final arrangement of the papers of Anne St. Clair Wright was largely determined by the processing archivist. Series were created that reflect the subject matter and format of material. Of particular note is the existence of memos and correspondence files throughout the collection. Memos and Correspondence were kept with the originating organization or activity.
Oversize materials have been removed to a mapcase or oversize boxes. A separation sheet has been placed in the original location of each item removed. Newsprint clippings have been photocopied onto acid-free paper and the original newsprint discarded. Rubber bands and metal fasteners have been removed and replaced with plastic clips.

Series 3: Preservation Keep, 1976-1993 and undated (1.50 linear feet)
This series consists of Wrights materials related to the Preservation Keep, a proposed museum intended to document Annapolis history and architecture. The Keep created much dialogue and debate between Historic Annapolis, the Maryland House and Senate, and citizens of Annapolis in the 1970s and 1980s. The materials in this series document an early attempt at an Annapolis museum, which finally came to fruition in 2004 with the opening of History Quest. The series includes drawings of the proposed museum space; grants written to support the Keep; legal documentation including a 1986 City Council Resolution to support the establishment of the Keep; administrative files; memos and correspondence by and to members of the committee to establish the Keep, including Wright; minutes and agendas from meetings held to discuss the Keep; writings by Wright and other people involved in the Keep; and Wrights notes about ideas for the establishment of the museum. A large portion of the materials are reports from the 1980s on the progress of the establishment of the Keep.

Series 5: Yentsch and Leone, 1982-1991 and undated (1.50 linear feet)
This series consists of materials related to Archaeology of Annapolis, an idea of Wrights that was operated by Anne Yentsch and Mark Leone during the 1980s and 1990s. Wright worked closely with Yentsch and Leone on specific preservation projects that required archeological excavations, particularly at Calvert Site. Many of the materials are reports about archeological findings and artifacts that Historic Annapolis used to prove the historical worth of certain sites. Memos and correspondence to and from Yentsch and Leone are prominent in this series. The majority of items have been loosely grouped by date, although memos and correspondence and writings have been put into separate folders.
