COVID-19 Notice
Updated May 20, 2021
As the Archives continues to welcome more staff back to our building, we are taking the opportunity to apply what we have learned over the past year to enhance our services and increase efficiency. We will continue to wear masks for your protection, and we ask that you continue to do so as well when in the search room.
The search room remains available by appointment only and we have recently expanded the number of spaces available. To visit in-person, please fill out the request an appointment form so that our staff can best assist you. After submitting the form, you will be contacted directly by one of our archivists who will provide a confirmed appointment time and quickly offer any necessary research assistance to identify the materials you wish to view in advance.
We are continuing to offer remote service as well, to anyone unable to visit in person. You may:
- Place copy orders online. You may order a certified copy of any unrestricted document generally required for legal needs, or an uncertified copy of a digitized birth, death or marriage record for reference purposes.
- Contact us for msa.helpdesk@maryland.gov or 410-260-6487
- Access digital records from home on our website, including What’s New Online, our training videos and research guides providing details on how to find our most searched record types.
Thank you.
