The Friends of the Maryland State Archives is a volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to furthering the knowledge and understanding of Maryland’s rich history. An understanding of our past is important to planning and preparing for our future. Promoting such insight and knowledge, especially through educational and outreach programs for students and teachers is central to the work of the Friends. Please join us!

Volunteer Program:

The Baltimore City Archives operates with a very small staff and appreciates the assistance of people willing to volunteer for a variety of tasks including shelving records, scanning, inventorying, and data entry. Furthermore, students looking for practical field experience in archives work are welcomed. If you would like to volunteer, please write to msa.bca@maryland.gov providing contact information and an idea of when and how much time you might be able to volunteer.
