The purpose of this blog is to post essays on neglected aspects of Baltimore City history intended to demonstrate how underutilized archival resources can be mined to recall the forgotten lives and neighborhoods that were once a vibrant component of the City of Promise. Only by knowing who we were and why, and allowing our lives to be guided by that knowledge, can we fulfill the promise of what we can and ought to be.

Introduction
The purpose of this blog is to post essays on neglected aspects of Baltimore City History intended to demonstrate how underutilized archival resources can be mined to recall the forgotten lives and neighborhoods that were once a vibrant component of the City of Promise. In doing so, it is hoped that an effort will be made to preserve those resources in a permanently accessible environment, and that others will be encouraged to research and write about the city's rich and diverse past. Only by knowing who we were and why can we fulfill the promise of what we can and ought to be.
