Bowie State University is an historically African American university located in Bowie, Maryland. It was founded on January 9, 1865, originally in Baltimore. It moved to its current location in Prince George's County, Maryland, in 1908. The school is highly respected, and its Master's degree program in technology consistently ranks first among African American graduate programs in technology. Bowie State University has donated:
- Banneker-Douglass Museum lower level, mezzanine level, and upper level floor plans.
- Banneker-Douglass Museum lower and upper level floor plans drawn by the Leon Bridges Company. Leon Bridges is a prominent Baltimore-based African American architect.
- A 1980 projected budget for restoring the museum.
- An 1878 survey map of Annapolis.
- A circa 1980 map of the Baltimore-Washington area.
- Demographic information of Anne Arundel Country during 1980.
- An October 8, 1979 Baltimore Sun article announcing the building's transition from a church to a museum.
The staff of Sylvia Gaither Garrison Library wishes to thank Bowie State University for their wonderful donation.
