The Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC) is a museum, library, and cultural institution in Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1844 as the Maryland Historical Society, it operates as the state’s oldest continuously functioning cultural organization, preserving a broad collection that includes hundreds of thousands of objects and millions of books and documents. Serving a diverse audience that includes the public, researchers, and educational groups, MCHC provides access to its holdings through its museum, library, and educational programs, and it maintains a press program to disseminate historical works. The organization positions itself within the history and culture sector as a premier repository and public program facilitator for Maryland’s past, with offerings designed for schools, families, and visitors interested in state history. A recent development includes the opening of a new permanent exhibition, WayFinders: Making Sense of Its World, in the Thomas & Hugg Building to enhance engagement for children and school groups.
