Notes: Here is a great single resource by which to determine where in Maryland one might find collections of music and music-related archival materials. The authors describe the contents of twenty-four Maryland repositories, from libraries and historical societies to educational institutions and privately owned collections. An excellent index allows searching for Maryland-related items being held in other states, too.

Anderson, Patricia Dockman. "Laying the Foundations: Herbert Baxter Adams, John Thomas Scharf, and Early Maryland Historical Scholarship." Maryland Historical Magazine 89 (Summer 1994): 170-83.
Notes: Adams and Scharf were two of Maryland's leading late nineteenth century historians. They, however, represented two very different historical schools. Adams, a Johns Hopkins professor, was instrumental in the professionalization of the history discipline. Scharf was a "chronicler", a local historian. He also had a strong interest in document preservation. Adams played a pivotal role in the donation of Scharf's collection to Hopkins. Scharf's collection is now housed at the Maryland State Archives.

Nicely illustrated with works from the collection and photographs of museum activities.
