The images are presented as they appear on the microfilm without alteration. The image labels reflect the microfilm accessioning assigned by the Maryland State Archives to its security microfilm as part of the on-going cooperative program to preserve master security electronic and microfilm images of newspapers and periodicals relating to Maryland in the permanent electronic archives of the state. They are presented here in an ebook format developed by the State Archivist designed to provide researchers with the ability to transcribe, annotate, and index the images on line in an effort to enhance access and the educational value of the collection. The transcription and editing functions can only be used when the ebook is accessed by an on-line browser (Firefox is recommended) and are restricted to personal, educational, non-commercial use. The image labels may be used as a standard reference citation.
Note that the jump script at the top and bottom of the page will only work within a reel of film and not across reels of film.
Bill Sleeman provides a very good overview of resources at the Marshall library and will be working with the Seminar beginning February 1.
Students will also be expected to provide biographical sketches of the lawyers and judges as appendices to their papers. |
