In 1974, the Maryland Humanities Council formed as the Maryland Committee for the Humanities and Public Policy in response to the federal law creating the National Endowment for the Humanities (P.L. 89-209). In 1983, the Committee reformed under its present name.
The Council is a private, nonprofit Maryland corporation. It is funded by the federal government, the State Department of Education, the Maryland Department of Labor, the Maryland Historical Trust, and by foundations, corporations, and individuals.
An independent 501 (c) (3) organization, the Council is the Maryland statewide programming arm of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The humanities include archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; history; jurisprudence; literature; philosophy; and the history, criticism, and theory of the arts, and related social sciences.
Council programs create and support educational experiences in the humanities that inspire Marylanders to embrace lifelong learning, exchange ideas openly, and enrich their communities. The Council also encourages public dialogue that interprets human experience, promotes cross-cultural understanding, explores human values, and connects people to the wider world.
The Governor appoints up to six of the Council's twenty-four volunteer members.
