Many of Maryland's Catholic Church records are maintained by the three archdioceses that cover the state. The Archdiocese of Baltimore, established November 6, 1789, originally encompassed all of the thirteen colonies. It currently comprises Baltimore City and the counties of Allegany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Garrett, Harford, Howard, and Washington. The Archdiocese of Washington includes Washington, DC and five Maryland counties: Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George's and St. Mary's. Maryland’s Eastern Shore counties of Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester are in the Archdiocese of Wilmington, Delaware. | Many of Maryland's Catholic Church records are maintained by the three archdioceses that cover the state.

The Archdiocese of Washington was seperated from the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 1939 and its records do not begin until that time. In 1939 it only included the District of Columbia. The five Maryland counties were added in 1948 and records prior to 1948 will be in the Archdicese of Baltimore. Sacramental records are housed in the parish where the event took place. | The Archdiocese of Washington was seperated from the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 1939 and its records do not begin until that time.
