The Maryland State Archives is hosting a series of public programming called Brown Bag Lunch and Learn. Once a month, the Archives will hold an informal, free talk in their conference room open to the general public where Archives' staff members will share different aspects of their jobs and ongoing projects. 

Our September talk will be given by Jennifer Hafner, Deputy Commissioner of Land Patents, and is titled The Land Office at the Maryland State Archives.  This talk will be an introduction to the origin and historic functions of the Land Office in Maryland and a discussion of the current responsibilities of the Land Office under the auspices of the Maryland State Archives.  The talk will be held on Wednesday, September 16 at noon. 

Feel free to bring both your lunch and any questions you may have! Please email or call Emily Oland Squires to RSVP to this event at emily.squires@maryland.gov or 410-260-6443. Please note: a valid photo ID is required to enter the Archives building.
