Research Appointments

To request a research appointment at the Baltimore City Archives, please supply the information below. Appointments are available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 10am and 3pm, and 5pm-8pm on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.

Appointments must be confirmed by staff. We request three business days' advance notice for appointments. Exceptions may be granted on a limited basis for returning researchers only.

You should receive an appointment confirmation via email within two business days. If you have not received this e-mail, your appointment is not confirmed. If you have not received any response within two business days, please e-mail msa.bca@maryland.gov or call us at (410) 396-3884.

Depending on your topic of interest, the records you wish to view, and the staff available on the date you select, we may request to change your appointment so that we can best accommodate your research needs.

Be sure you review our tips for planning your visit prior to submitting your appointment request. If this is your first visit to the Archives, please also complete the user registration form in advance.
