The Archivist works part-time, so an appointment in advance is necessary for research. The hours are irregular, but the Archives are open most weekdays and available some Saturdays. Most items may be photocopied, at a charge, depending on condition.
Reference is provided by telephone, mail, and on site.
Written inquiries should be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The Archives cannot return long-distance calls from private individuals. In general, the collection is of only incidental use for genealogy, apart from some biographical material and the registers of some defunct churches. The Archivist cannot undertake genealogical research, but information and suggestions on the holdings will be provided. Baltimore Archives Network.
