University of Maryland Vertical File Collection

 Collection 0094-UA

This collection includes news clippings on a wide variety of University of Maryland-related topics, which were drawn from Maryland and DC newspapers. Most of the clippings come from Baltimore and Washington papers, but the collection does include articles from other local papers across Maryland, as well as a few from outside the state. Large groupings of clippings are centered around alumni, students, faculty/staff; buldings and grounds; fraternities and sororities; and events on campus, such as the Vietnam War-related protests and the Queen's Game.
