Conferences, 1938-2009

 Series 10

The contents of this series include materials relating to all previously held Maryland Library Association conferences, mostly concentrating on the annual conference. Such materials include conference committee agendas and minutes; pre-conference registration forms; program flyers; conference site brochures; program presenter agreements; budgets; menus; and schedules. Additionally, most of the official programs from the conferences between 1977 and 2006 are located in the series. All records of the Conference Committee are interfiled within the conference files, rather than placed in Series II: Committees, because of the intrinsic nature of the included materials. The annual conferences are sometimes referred to as "spring" conferences. The series also includes a listing of conference themes, dates, and locations for the years 1970 through 1983 and the text of the speech at the 1990 conference by then-ALA president Patricia Wilson Berger. A favorite location for MLA conferences is Ocean City. Notable materials include Baltimore Sun clippings concerning the 1966 annual meeting. Arrangement is chronological according to conference.
