The research involved cataloging surviving bank notes, documenting history of the banks, and finding biographies of the bank's officers who signed the bank notes. The research pulled extensively from the U.S. National Archives, Smithsonian Institution, Historical Society of Frederick County, Maryland Room of the Frederick County Library, and Comptroller of Currency Annual Reports.From 1865 to 1935 Frederick supported six national banks, with one of those banks being re-chartered.
