Charles C. Plitt Collection
The Charles C. Plitt Collection consists of a series of journals resulting from weekly botany field trips, which Plitt referred to as "tramps," ranging in date from about 1898 to 1922. Plitt led these tramps through many areas around Baltimore, such as Loch Raven, Glen Burnie, Towson, Curtis Bay, and Ellicott City. The collection also includes biographical data, correspondence, photographs, and a book.
Charles Thom Papers
The Charles Thom Papers cover materials from Thom's college years to biographical memoirs published after his death. The collection includes correspondence, notes, notebooks, essays, lectures, speeches, diaries, journals, and lantern slides from professional trips. There are also published items, including monographs, journal articles, and newspaper clippings. The majority of the collection focuses on soil microbiology, mycology, food spoilage, food poisoning, and penicillin.

The CPC Catalog contains bibliographic citations for plants and soils, mostly referring to articles, and the cards mostly carry the National Agricultural Library (NAL) cataloging system numbers. The cards are filed alphabetically by last name of author and by type of crop. Includes early horticultural literature from 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. There are both U.S. and foreign citations. Additions to the catalog may have ceased in the 1940s.
