Baltimore City Archives, Municipal archive in Waverly neighborhood, Baltimore, United States.
The Baltimore City Archives maintains extensive collections of government records, historical photographs, and vital documents from Baltimore's municipal departments and agencies.
The establishment of Baltimore's first Record Office in 1839 marked the beginning of organized preservation of municipal documents, previously kept in a single chest.
The archives preserve records reflecting Baltimore's development through city ordinances, council meeting minutes, and historical papers from events like the War of 1812.
Researchers can schedule virtual consultation sessions through the 'Tuesday with Ed' program, receiving guidance on effective use of archival resources.
The Works Progress Administration created detailed worksheets and indexes during the 1930s, documenting every name mentioned in the historical records.
