There is a extensive historical archeological report on a
tannery that operated in the 1800 and early 1900s in
Frederick Maryland. The report is located in the Frederick
County Library, Patrick street, in Frederick. It is in
their early history room on the second floor.
While I have no research report to offer, I have a lot
of information on a tannery that operated between 1797 and
1856 in Jefferson, Maryland. The operation became subject
to a law suit in 1857 and there are court records
summarizint the amount and kind of equipment and buildings.
