Lincoln Park History Project
An ongoing collection of photographs and documentary material from Lincoln Park, a community in Rockville, Maryland, that was founded by freed slaves and other African Americans in 1891. Residents of this community, some of them descendants of the original homeowners, have joined with local organizations to create an online exhibition of materials owned by individuals and families as well as by churches, political and civic associations, businesses, schools, and community centers. This website tells the story of one of Rockville’s oldest neighborhoods with sections highlighting the community’s original families and its social institutions, local businesses, and domestic architecture. The detailed history and bibliography sections document the community’s civic activism, and tie its quest for adequate schooling to state and national struggles. One essay tells of Thurgood Marshall’s involvement in an early civil rights case to win equal pay for black teachers.

An electronic online version of a collection of family papers (MSA SC 1848), the originals of which for the most part are now owned by the Maryland Historical Society. They are in large measure the papers of Maryland Governor Thomas Sim Lee (1745-1819), his son Congressman John Lee (1788-1871), his son-in-law Senator Outerbridge Horsey (1777-1842), and his grandson Outerbridge Horsey II (1819-1902), owners of a family estate, Needwood, in Frederick County, Maryland. Because of the connection of the Lees to the Carroll family, the collection also contains letters between Charles Carroll of Carrollton (1737-1832), the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his father, dating from the mid-eighteenth century when the signer was abroad in school.
