Our 2025 Annual Report is here! đź“‘
2025 was a year that demanded resolve, creativity, and courage, as we faced the sudden loss of more than half of our operating budget with the termination of federal funding.
However, with the support of our community, we were able to adapt and continue serving Marylanders across the state.
Our 2025 Annual Report, “Standing Together for the Humanities,” reflects what that support made possible and the work that continues because of it.
Thank you for standing with us and believing in the power of the humanities.

Tomorrow is the Maryland History Day State Contest! đź“ś
We're looking forward to seeing all of our students, teachers, staff, judges, and volunteers tomorrow for this celebration of student research and scholarship.
Stay tuned throughout the day, as we'll be posting live updates showcasing our amazing students!
Hear from Cassie Batterbee, our generous headlining Special Prize sponsor for the Award for Excellence in LGBTQ+ History at Maryland History Day!
We offer Special Prizes at Maryland History Day that focus on specific themes, topics, or identities in history. Our goal is to be inclusive of all histories, and we rely on private funding to do so in a climate where the federal government is working to erase them.
Rally behind Cassie to make sure our students see this history represented at Maryland History Day!
