In our latest Maryland Minutes webinar, Malissa Ruffner presents a comprehensive overview of the records available at the Baltimore City Archives, with many record examples. She also provides the history of the Baltimore City Archives, identifies what you won’t find there, and offers guidance if you want to plan a visit. This video is very helpful if you have ancestors in Baltimore City. Some of the specific records discussed include passenger lists, the 1868 city police census, city market records, city directories, ward maps, records pertaining to African Americans in Baltimore, and more. This webinar is available to members in the Members Only section.
