McGowan, Lynn. "A Survey of Irish Usage among Immigrants in the United States." In The Irish Language in the United States: A Historical, Sociolinguistic, and Applied Linguistic Study, edited by Thomas W. Ihde. Westport, CT: Bergin & Garvey, 1994, 67-76.
Notes: To evaluate the persistence of Irish language usage by Irish immigrants to the United States in the period following 1922, McGowan conducted a limited survey of respondents in New York, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. In order to determine the impact of Irish language instruction fostered by the Free State of Ireland, she selected only those who had been educated in Irish primary schools after the implementation of the language policy. She found that for most immigrants to the United States, Irish had remained a "school language," not used a great deal in everyday life, though there were important degrees of persistence in reading, writing, and conversation.

Orser, Edward, and Joseph Arnold. Catonsville, 1880-1940: From Village to Suburb. Norfolk, VA: Donning Pubishing Co., 1989.
Notes: This photographic history traces the history of Catonsville, on Baltimore County's west side, from the 1880s, when the village center served the needs of travelers on Frederick Road and the surrounding agricultural area, as well as afforded sites for summer homes for some of Baltimore's elite, to 1940, when growth, development, and transportation links heightened its suburban character within the Baltimore metropolitan region. The volume includes research evidence on the social make-up of the community, such as the impact of German and Irish immigrants and the role of its historic African American community.

Zmora, Nurith. "A Rediscovery of the Asylum: The Hebrew Orphan Asylum Through the Lives of Its First Fifty Orphans." American Jewish History 72 (March 1988): 452-75.
Notes: Examining the early history of the Baltimore Hebrew Orphan Asylum, established in 1873 in west Baltimore, Zmora provides evidence to refute the interpretation that such institutions were characterized by detention and represented the breakdown of family ties. Her study draws upon a variety of records to provide a profile of the orphanage's early inmates and the families from which they came. Zmora contends that the profile indicates the special vulnerability of young widows and the difficulty of placing orphaned siblings in the same home, but argues for the relative success of the institution in reuniting children with members of their families.
