Description

NEH funded final report, "Southern Urban Society After the Revolution: Annapolis, Maryland, 1782-1786," including summary of accomplishments, financial statement, and appendices. Collection contains compiled lot histories, lot files, and biographical files compiled by Dr. Edward Papenfuse, State Archivist, and Maryland State Archives staff members.

Digitized file of Appendix F, [Annapolis Historic District] Lot Histories and Maps is available from this link, MSA SC 5339-5-21 This pdf version of the Lot Histories is a file created by former State Archivist Dr. Edward C. Papenfuse, Jr., from Appendix F of the NEH final report, his own dissertation research, and draft text for his book In Pursuit of Profit: The Annapolis Merchants in the Era of the American Revolution, 1763–1805 (Baltimore and London: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1975).

This collection also contains lot files and biographical files of land owners and others listed on the Assessment of 1783, compiled by Edward Papenfuse and Historic Annapolis contractual workers. Joyce McDonald investigated Congress and its members before and during that body’s session in Annapolis: her report is titled “Annapolis, The Visitors’ Perspective: the Congress and the Community” (see also MSA SC 885).
