"Why don't we (just) digitize everything?"

BMI Archives Manager Maggi Marzolf understands that preserving Baltimore's history is a big job—one that falls to a core team of dedicated staff and passionate volunteers.

While digitization makes our industrial heritage accessible to anyone, anywhere, the process requires far more than scanning a document. Every single photo, record, and object must be physically retrieved, assessed, meticulously cataloged, and safely re-stored before it ever hits a server.

With over a million stories waiting in the wings, our archives rely heavily on community support. By donating, volunteering, or visiting the museum, you directly fuel the labor-intensive work that keeps Baltimore’s rich working-class history alive, preserved, and accessible for generations to come.

💡Did You Know: The BMI's BGE collection includes about 80,000 photographs and negatives depicting Baltimore workplaces, infrastructure, and manufacturing from 1920 to about 2001.
