Webinars

 

A new Maryland Minutes webinar has been posted! Debra Hoffman presents “Off to the Market! Researching Baltimore City Market Houses”. If you watched our last video by Malissa Ruffner, you learned about the collections held at the Baltimore City Archives. In this new video, Debra does a detailed overview of one of those holdings, Baltimore’s market records. She covers the history of 11 city markets and walks us through specific information contained in the record groups and how to access them. You’d be surprised about the information in these documents, which can be very valuable for genealogy researchers! This webinar is available to members in the Members Only section.
