WORCESTER DEMOCRAT, POCOMOKE CITY, MARYLAND PRATT LIBRARY SEEKING FOR NEWSPAPERS Persons Having Numbers De sired Would Confer Favor By Writing The Library The following self-explanatory let ter came to the “Democrat” office on Wednesday last. Cooperation will be appreciated. Baltimore, Md. March 25, 1941 Editor, Worcester Democrat Pocomoke City, Maryland Dear Sir: The Enoch Pratt Library of Balti more has gathered in its Maryland Room just as complete a file as pos sible of all Maryland newspapers, in cluding those published in Worcester County. Such newspaper files are of basic importance to students of his tory and to many Marylanders who frequently have occasion to look up happenings in varipus towns and communities. As records of the life of the community, they have no equal in importance. Unfortunately, our files of Worces ter County papers are incomplete. We trust that among your subscribers there may be some who have kept copies of the following newspapers, and would be interested in helping us round out this important collection. I might add that through the de lay on the part of the owner of a file of western Maryland newspapers, we read with deep regret, the entire file was destroyed by fire. It was the only file in existence. Such a re sult can be avoided by placing val uable files here in this fire-proof building. We need files of the following Worcester County newspapers: Worcester Democrat Ledger-Enterprise Eastern Shoreman Record and Gazette Worcester Enterprise Newtown Gazette Anyone owning copies of these, or any other Maryland newspapers pub lished before 1933, will greatly assist the Pratt Library and the people of Maryland, by writing us about them. Our files of old Annapolis papers and of Baltimore papers before 1900 also have gaps in them. We are in terested, too, in old photographs, maps and pamphlets on Maryland subjects. Signed: Joseph L.
