B&O Railroad Museum

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum will use its grant to conduct a detailed condition survey of the museum’s vast historic paper-based and audiovisual collections, which include motion picture film, videos, sound recordings, photographic prints, slides, transparencies, and glass plate/film negatives related to early American railroading. The paper holdings include periodicals and trade publications, documents of early B&O Railroad presidents, corporate records from 1827, old payroll files, manuscripts, maps, engineering drawings, and lithographs.
