*Breaking news…the Maryland Historical Society is becoming the Maryland Center for History and Culture.
From their September 9 statement:
“After 176 years, we are stepping into this new identity that better reflects our mission to provide space for the community to discover and develop a deeper understanding of our nation’s history and culture through a Maryland prism. Your history lives here.
“The name change process took more than two years and was marked by extensive research and surveys. Accompanying our rebrand is a new visual identity. Inspired by the quilts in our collection, the “M” in our logo represents pieces of a pattern coming together but not complete—history is about collecting stories, but more stories are always yet to be told. The logo also radiates out and radiates in, symbolizing the lives we touch and the ideas we bring together.”
