Historical Collections

The Historical Collections Department serves as an archival repository for the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Historical Collections documents the history and accomplishments of the graduate, dental, medical, nursing, pharmacy, and social work schools. The collection includes university publications, manuscript collections, and selected primary source documents dating back to the University's nineteenth century origins.
