The Maryland Historical Society
</features/lifestyle/58898,0,7157088.venue?coll=bal-artslife-today>, the
state's oldest cultural institution, this week announced sweeping staff
cuts and a broad restructuring of departments, and hinted that it would
scale back future exhibitions as part of a plan to eliminate a $1.2
million operating deficit.
The staff reductions, expected to save between $500,000 and $600,000 a
year, involve about a dozen of the organization's 60 employees,
including the heads of its museum, publications and marketing departments.
The society's new director, W. Eric Emerson, said the changes were
needed to put the institution on a firm financial footing.
