Archives Of Maryland LXX: Proceedings Of The Provincial Court Of Maryland 1681-1683 gathers colonial Maryland court records from the colony's central tribunal. Each entry preserves provincial court proceedings in the clerk's own language, capturing voices as they confront questions of property, authority, faith, and survival.

Scholars, historians and general readers with a taste for original documents will find in these records the texture of disputes, the cadence of official language, and the gradual formation of a distinct provincial identity under English rule.
