This collection, which forms the bulk of the photographs held by the Maryland State Archives, dates from 1934 to 2005, and is entirely the work of Marion E. Warren, a photographer in Annapolis, MD. There are some views of the Midwest in the late thirties and Washington, DC and Europe during World War II, but the majority of photographs are of Maryland since 1947. The photographs are almost entirely black and white, with a few color slides, color negatives, and color tranparencies.
Subjects include Annapolis, Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore, aerials, historic homes, industry, street scenes, skipjacks, watermen, fishing, state parks, recreation, Piscataway Indians, sailing, agriculture, tobacco farming, tidewater Virginia, Eastern Shore, western Maryland, southern Maryland, central Maryland, architecture, historic preservation. See also the following two books: An Annapolis Portrait 1859-1910: "The Train's Done Been And Gone" (1976) and "Then Again, Annapolis, 1900-1965" (1990).

Not all historical copy photographs in the Marion E. Warren Collection are in the public domain. Many copies of historical images were made for one-time use projects with the originals belonging to private institutions and individuals. The Maryland State Archives offers broad public access to these materials as a contribution to education and scholarship. It is the researcher's obligation to determine and satisfy copyright or other use restrictions when publishing or otherwise distributing materials found in the Marion E. Warren Collection. |
| The Maryland photographs cover the entire state. The people of Maryland, at work and at play, are a major subject of the photographs in this collection, not only through the portraits and weddings Mr. Warren has photographed, but also through the candid shots he has done over his 60 year career. The collection also contains many copy photographs made by Mr. Warren both during his years as a professional photographer and during the work he did on the books he and his daughter Mame published. An exhibition of his work was assembled in 1989, and the world wide web version of The Eye of the Beholder is now available at the Maryland State Archives. There is an online resource and samples of Marion E. Warren photographs at the Maryland State Archives available on our online exhibit, Eye of the Beholder: Photographs by Marion E. Warren, 1940-1988. |
