Southern Maryland Studies Center
The Southern Maryland Studies Center (SMSC) was founded by the College of Southern
Maryland in 1976 in order to provide a central location for research on
this historically important region. Students, historians,
genealogists, and community members use the Center's resources to study the
culture and development of Charles, Calvert, St. Mary's, and
southern areas of Anne Arundel and Prince George's Counties.
Researchers will find state and federal census records, newspapers,
colonial records, church records, and local and state records on microfilm
to the early 20th century. The manuscript collections contain records
of organizations, individuals, and families from the 18th century to the
present century and provide insights to the economic, social, and political
currents that shaped this region. The collection of print materials
include books, newspapers, photographs, slides and maps. The oral
history collections are comprised of over 300 interviews with individuals from all walks of
life.
