Archives
With a grant from the Maryland Historical Trust, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation sponsored an inventory of historic architectural documents in the Maryland archival repositories, individual owners and architectural firms. The archives include architectural drawings from Jackson Platt Ketcham and Millard Donaldson. They also include architect biographies from the BAF’s Historical Architects Roundtable.
The materials in the Baltimore Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIABaltimore) Collection, 1927-1993, consist of administrative records, organizational documents, by-laws, rosters, directories, financial and legal documents, minutes and agendas, membership records, letters, newsletters and magazines, flyers, brochures, announcements, awards programs, news clippings, photographs, photographic slides, maps, and architectural drawings.
