See additional posts Introduction to the Lawrence Joseph Hogan, Sr. papers, Processing the Hogan papers – The Beginning, and Processing the Hogan papers - Watergate and Impeachment for an introduction to the collection. Note: Hogan was the father of Larry Hogan, Maryland's 62nd Governor (2015-2023). An essential mission of archives is to preserve, promote, and make available materials of historical and cultural significance to the public with the goal of gaining insight and understanding into the complex history of human existence. With this important mission in mind, archives and archivists developed a systematic method in which to document and organize the collections that they acquire, ensuring their accessibility and usability for the public. At the University of Maryland's Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA), we follow this methodology, which includes accessioning, inventorying, processing, and finding aid creation. Once these activities are completed, then a collection, such as the Lawrence Joseph Hogan, Sr. papers, is ready for use in the Maryland Room, SCUA's reading room. | | |
