This subseries includes notebooks kept by several of the Society’s treasurers; advertising scrapbooks and other marketing materials, and annual statements. A handsome collection of rough notes, mostly relating to directors’ meetings and surveying, compiled and mostly created by surveyor and Secretary (later Treasurer) Hugh B. Jones (1822-1895) provides an unfiltered glimpse of day-to-day activities of one of the Society’s more enduring figures.

Compiled in conjunction with the opening of the museum. Content ranges from excellent historical and biographical information on the Society and its officers and directors to general-interest historical articles culled from local periodicals. Of particular interest is a printed extract of 1792 from the minutes of the Maryland Society for promoting the Abolition of Slavery, and the Relief of free Negroes, and others, unlawfully held in Bondage, of which Joseph Townsend was secretary
