Research Proposal

The topic for this blog will be the Prohibition Era in Baltimore, which was around 1919 to 1933. I am particularly interested in this topic because Baltimore has historically been a drinking city and with its location close to the water it could be used as a port for the illegal distribution of alcohol.

I plan to do my research through Enoch Pratt Library's Maryland Room as well as through the Maryland Historical Society. I will also make use of the resources at University of Baltimore, particularly the oral histories in the Baltimore Neighborhood Heritage Project.
