Journey through the deep prehistory of St. Mary’s County. Uncover the layers of migration and settlement that have shaped this region and understand their lasting impacts on local culture and society.

Visit the World on the Move page on our website to learn more about the World on the Move exhibit and additional library programming. Register to receive a reminder email; walk-ins welcome. 

Discover the migration patterns of varied peoples to Maryland in the 17th and 18th centuries. Learn about the roots of early naturalization policies in the region and their significance in shaping local history.

Migration Journeys is a thought-provoking series that will offer valuable insights into the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of people who have traversed our state and nation, continents and oceans. Through the insights of expert speakers from the St. Mary's College of Maryland's Department of Anthropology, we explore human movement and its role in shaping history, culture, and society and the factors that influenced these migrations.

Julia A. King is the George B. and Willma Reeves Endowed Chair in the Liberal Arts professor of anthropology at St. Mary's College of Maryland, where she researches, teaches, and writes about early American and Indigenous history, archaeology, and culture. She has received recognition for her research from the Society for Historical Archaeology, the Society for Ethnohistory, and the William and Mary Quarterly, among others.

World on the Move: 250,00 years of Human Migration was developed by the American Anthropological Association, together with the Smithsonian’s Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage and Smithsonian Exhibits. It is administered by the American Library Association’s Public Programs Office.
