THOMAS R. BADEN COLLECTION, 1939-1974

Thomas R. Baden (1908-1974), a native Annapolitan, developed his interest in photography into a role of documenting African American life in Annapolis. “Tommy B,” as he was known in the community photographed African American social and community events for over forty years. His collection contains over 3,000 photograph prints, negatives and darkroom equipment donated by his daughter, Barbara Baden-Bentley. Bentley also served as a devoted Commissioner of Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture.
