few color slides, color negatives, and color

other agriculture, urban renewal in Baltimore City,
street scenes, state and national parks, historic homes
in Annapolis and throughout the state, aerials, and
businesses and industry, including the work of Maryland

shots he has done over his 60 year career. The collection
also contains many copy photographs made by Mr. Warren
both during his years as a professional photographer and

Mame published. Since Mr. Warren is still actively
