Dear Friends:

I am pleased to welcome you to the Baltimore Blue Book web site! The book is an annual publication that serves as both a personal and professional networking reference for thousands of families throughout the year.

For 118 years now, Baltimore’s Blue Book has been a celebrated tradition for the entire metropolitan area. The blue satin hardcover-bound book features a Society Visiting List, an alphabetical directory of Baltimore's social scene of nearly 2,000 households. It lists home addresses, collegiate education, club memberships, and children. Local political, business and cultural leaders lead these households. In addition, a select number of businesses advertise in the book.

The book also includes a listing of the newest debutantes and their respective parties, Bachelors Cotillon subscribers, a calendar of special events open to the public, as well as recent birth, marriage and death announcements, submitted by subscribers.

We are seeking subscriptions and advertisers for future editions of the Blue Book, scheduled for printing each fall - as well as to this website. In the near future, we hope to launch a semi-annual newsletter too. We would welcome your patronage! Please take a few moments to call or email me with your interest, and either our advertising representative or I will be in touch with you.

Respectfully,
