Organization, Education and Empowerment: Betty Garman Robinson's Activism in Baltimore
Betty Garman Robinson was a lifelong activist. During her more than forty years living Baltimore, Maryland, she was heavily involved in community organizing in the city, in areas including workers' rights, public health, and community displacement. This digital exhibit explores Robinson's activism in Baltimore through textual materials from multiple collections at the Special Collections & Archives.
40 Years of HIV/AIDS in Baltimore

Roland Park Then and Now
The purpose of this web collection is to a create sketch of early Roland Park, Baltimore. This is done by presenting a series of side-by-side photographs, old and new, of this well preserved historic neighborhood and its environs. The original project was two years in the making, 2008-2010. It was hosted at the Roland Park Civic League's website, RolandPark.org, of which I was at the time the webmaster. That section of the RolandPark.org site is now defunct. Its place is now taken by this new, enlarged version of the collection, now kindly hosted by the University of Baltimore. This second edition of the collection is considerably larger in scope than was the first, both in terms of the number of photos and subpages and in terms of its geographic reach. The photos in this edition extend beyond Roland Park's boundaries, well into Ruxton in Baltimore County.
