Cataloging Information
Cataloging information for items in this collection is based on Money and Banking in Maryland, Part Two: A Catalogue of Maryland's Paper Money, 1790-1865 by Denwood N. Kelly, Armand M. Shank Jr., and Thomas S. Gordon (Baltimore: Maryland Historical Society, 1996). Special thanks to Denwood N. Kelly for his long-term work with the Maryland Historical Society's currency collection.

Technical Information
Currency items were digitized at the Maryland Historical Society Library using Adobe Photoshop on a Microtek Scan Maker 4 flat-bed scanner at 300 dpi and saved in TIFF format. From the TIFF file, two JPEG files were created for Web access at 72 dpi: one "full-size" image at the same size as the original, and one "thumbnail" image at 200 pixels on the long dimension. 

HTML documents were created by project staff using Netscape Composer. Graphic banners were created in Adobe Photoshop. 

Catalog information for the currency collection items was entered into an MS Access database, along with file paths for the images. Data and images were integrated by a computer consultant using Active Server Pages (ASP) technology.
