Writings and Publicity, 1964-1985 and undated

This series includes both published and unpublished materials relating to all of Holland's writings except Ellicott City, Maryland: Mill Town, U.S.A. and Old Homes and Families of Howard County, Maryland. There are clippings and drafts of published articles and pamphlets as well as related notes, correspondence, and publicity. Holland contributed many articles on historical subjects to the Maryland Clubwoman, the Central Maryland News, the Howard County Times, and the Howard County News. Included in this series are duplicate photocopies of Holland's two largest newspaper series, written for the Central Maryland News from 1964 to 1966 and the Howard County Times in 1974 and 1975; these articles are also located in many of the historic property files comprising Series III and IV. In addition to newspaper and magazine articles, Holland authored a number of booklets such as the tour guide Ellicott City: Maryland's 18th Century Milltown, Landmarks of Howard County, and a coloring book detailing historic sites in the County, for which Holland wrote the text. Holland also wrote much of her own publicity; among the correspondence about and clippings of the publicity for her newspaper series, pamphlets, and books are many of the press releases Holland herself composed. Although historic houses and communities were her most frequent subject, two folders, Advent Prayer and Miscellaneous Articles, are religious rather than historical in nature.

The drafts, notes, and proofs for Holland's two books are not in this series; Series III contains the material for Ellicott City, Maryland: Mill Town, U.S.A., while Series IV includes material for Old Homes and Families of Howard County, Maryland.

The items are arranged alphabetically by title.
