Albin O. Kuhn papers- Scope and Content Note
The Kuhn papers are divided into 5 series. The first two series of the Kuhn papers contain a great deal of information on the planning and creation of the UMBC campus. Details pertaining to how the land was acquired, projected traffic patterns, campus buildings, the formation of curriculum and a faculty are documented. Information on decisions such as admission requirements, grading policies, and student discipline are included.
Series A and B contain many of the key documents pertaining to the history of the UMBC campus. In particular, documents on expansion of the University of Maryland System in boxes 4 and 5 and boxes 22 and 23 contain items that relate to UMBC's early days. Box 23 contains a photography album and scrapbook put together by Mrs. Leroy Haile that documents the Stabler Manual Labor School and Farm that stood on the site of UMBC. There are also photographs of the campus under construction and of the first buildings.
