The Maryland State Archives serves as the central depository for government records of permanent value. Its holdings trace Maryland’s history back to 1634 and comprise colonial and state executive, legislative, and judicial records; county probate, land, and court records; church and business records; state publications and reports; and special collections of private papers, maps, photographs, and newspapers. The agency is based in Annapolis, Maryland, and operates within the government administration sector. It preserves enduring public records and provides access to these materials for research, accountability, and transparency. The collections support scholars, government officials, and members of the public seeking historical or governmental information. As a mid-sized state agency, it serves Maryland’s archival needs from its Annapolis location.
