Maryland State Archives
Preserving Maryland History
The Maryland State Archives, housed in the Dr. Edward C. Papenfuse State Archives Building, serves as the central depository for government records of permanent value in Maryland. This facility protects a vast collection of documents dating back to the founding of the colony in 1634, including vital records (birth, death, marriage), land deeds, probate records, and historic court cases. It is an essential resource for genealogists, historians, and legal researchers. The public Search Room provides access to original documents and digital terminals, supported by professional archivists. Beyond records, the Archives also manage the state's artistic property and the Maryland Manual On-Line, acting as the memory of the state government.
- Collections: Vital Records, Land Deeds, Wills
- Access: Public Search Room and Online Databases
- Services: Reference Staff Assistance
Search Room Rules
To preserve fragile documents, the Archives enforces strict visiting policies. All visitors must register with a photo ID at the security desk. Personal belongings, including bags, coats, pens, and binders, are not permitted in the Search Room and must be stored in free lockers. Only loose-leaf paper, pencils, and laptops (without cases) are allowed at the research tables. Cell phones must be silenced, and phone calls are prohibited inside the research area. Photography of documents is permitted without flash. Copies of records can be purchased on-site using credit cards or checks.
