| | Details | 1801-1971 | Printed Mayoral Material | This series consists of printed material, some of which is also duplicated in the Baltimore City Department of Legislative Reference Library, Maryland Historical Society, and the Maryland Department of the Enoch Pratt Free Library. The two major types of printed records created by the Mayor's Office are the annual messages and published statements issued by the mayor.
The "Mayor's Message" (also called the "Mayor's Communication," "Mayor's Annual Report," or individually titled), delivered annually to the City Council, is an account of the general state of the city. This document provides a summary of the financial status of the city, the Mayor's opinions on ordinances, and statements of the development of various city departments. No manuscript or printed copy survives of the annual message for 1797, the first year of the city's existence. A progress report written by Mayor James Calhoun to the City Council dated June 19, 1797 which adheres to the format of subsequent messages, is in the holdings of the Baltimore City Archives, RG.9, Series 1, Box 1. The earliest extant message is dated February 12, 1798. This and the following two messages of February 11, 1799 and February 10, 1800 were printed in daily newspapers, but were not included in any published compilation of messages. Manuscript copies of the 1798 and 1799 messages are part of BCA RG.9, Series 1, Box 1; the 1800 message is part of BCA RG.16, Series 1. The first published compilation of "Mayor's Messages" was printed in 1831 containing the messages from 1801 through 1831. Other compilations exist for 1832-1860, 1861-1879, 1880-1890, 1915-1937, 1943-1947, 1947-1951, and 1963-1967. "Mayor's Messages" for these, and intervening years, were published in Baltimore Annual Reports from 1856 to 1919. The messages were also included in the Journal of Proceedings of the Baltimore City Council from 1801 to 1979. "Mayor's Messages" have been prepared sporadically in the twentieth century.
The earliest of the Mayor's reports have been reprinted in William G. LeFurgy, "Prudent Laws and Wise Regulations: Three early Baltimore Mayor's Messages, 1797-1799, "Maryland Historical Magazine, 78, No. 4 (Winter, 1983), 278-86.
