The retention of Maryland Historical Society (MdHS)’s staff to complete a two-year project to launch a new website with fully-accessible digital content as well as a new brand identity for the organization as the “Maryland Center for History and Culture,” which represents MdHS’s renewed commitment to inclusivity, innovation, and accessibility. 

The Maryland Historical Society seeks funding to support staffing costs related to the final development phase and launch of a new website and brand identity. The new website is a critical long-term investment as well as a response to COVID-19 closures and social distancing recommendations as MdHS is unable to engage the public in its mission through traditional means.
