Archives Gold #34: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
A Baltimore Sun Photograph of 1981 Student Protest at UMBC
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a photograph from our collection of Baltimore Sun photographs that shows UMBC students protesting the proposed closing of the UMBC campus in 1981.
Photograph of UMBC Student Protesters, March 1, 1981. Baltimore Sun Photographs, P2014-01-0073, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
Student activism and protest has been a part of the UMBC campus since it was first opened in 1966. The photograph above shows a specific student protest in 1981 in response to a proposal from the State Board of Higher Education to close down the UMBC campus and turn it into an industrial park. Students quickly rallied behind the school. SGA president Scott Rifkin said at the time,
"Somebody is serious about this proposal, and if we aren't, we could be at the University of Baltimore next year!" -The UMBC Retriever, Volume 15, Number 19, p. 1.
However, the University of Maryland System President at the time John Toll and UMBC Chancellor John Dorsey both denied that the State Board of Higher Education was seriously considering closing down the UMBC campus. Regardless, the rumors prompted over one thousand students to gather on the Quad in March of 1981 and show their unified support for the university.

Archives Gold #33: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
A UMBC Commencement Program from 1970
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present the commencement program from UMBC's first graduation ceremony in 1970.
The First Commencement Exercises of the University of Maryland Baltimore County Program, June 7, 1970. UPUB C5-001 University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
UMBC's first commencement took place June 7, 1970 at 7pm on the Quad. 152 of the total 244 students who graduated were part of the "Founding Class," the first group of students to complete four full years at UMBC. The class of 1970 was also one of the firsts to organize a senior project. Seniors collected donations from the UMBC community to start a campus fund that would assist students that needed help to pay their tuition bill. The students collected a total of $13,000 which is equivalent to $80,000 today!

Joseph Arnold papers in the Special Collections department
An update from the 2015-16 academic year
As part of a continued partnership with the History department, graduate student assistant Katherine Fusick has spent this academic year working with the Joseph L. Arnold papers, Collection 111. Read on for information about her work!
Processing of the Joseph L. Arnold papers has continued for another year! As I have worked with the collection it has continued to change and grow. When I started in the fall of 2015, Dr. Arnold’s draft manuscript of History of Baltimore, 1729-1920 was available online with introductions by Dr. Elizabeth M. Nix of the University of Baltimore providing additional context and information about scholarship on the topics that have been published since 2004. While this marks great progress for the collection and is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to research Baltimore, we want the manuscript to be a more flexible and interactive resource. In order to make this a reality, I spent my first few months in Special Collections using TEI-XML to encode the existing manuscript draft. It was an invaluable learning experience. Hopefully a new version of the the manuscript that is even more useful for researchers will be available in the upcoming years!
Dr. Arnold’s widow, Mary Jane, has continued to be involved in the process to ensure that her husband’s work is available to future researchers. Over the year she has brought a steady flow of additional materials that I have worked to add to the existing collection. Two of the largest additions are the London materials and the teaching materials. Series IV contains bibliographic materials, full-length articles, pages of Dr. Arnold’s notes, and some lecture material on the history of London from its days as part of the Roman Empire through the end of the 20th Century. He used these sources for comparative urban history research for the Baltimore manuscript and for course material. These materials came to us with hardly any organization, so I followed in the footsteps of previous graduate assistants Auni Gelles and Shae Adams and created organization along subject categories similar to those in the Baltimore subject files found in Series III. I also added a handful of additional newspaper articles, pamphlets, chapters from books, articles, and Dr. Arnold’s hand-written notes to those existing Baltimore subject files in Series III. And Mary Jane just dropped off another couple of boxes of materials this morning, so the collection is still growing!
Over the course of this academic year, it has been absolutely fascinating to peer into the research process of one of the UMBC History Department greats. I feel like I got to know Dr. Arnold as I worked through his papers. I was amazed by all the small clippings, book jackets, and handwritten notes he used to keep track of new sources and existing scholarship. It is so easy to imagine him constantly reading, consciously researching even in the little moments throughout his day. It has been a privilege to be a part of documenting his research and his writing process and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this wonderful labor of love.
Thank you, Katherine!
