Maryland Church Records: Difference between revisions

The [http://www.stmarys.edu/archives/index.htm Associated Archives at St. Mary’s Seminary and University] house the archived records for the [http://www.archbalt.org/ Archdiocese of Baltimore], as well as, [[St. Mary's Seminary and University|St. Mary's Seminary and University]], and the [http://www.sulpicians.org/ Associated Sulpicians of the United States].  Efforts to microfilm the sacramental registers of the parishes that comprise the [http://www.archbalt.org/ Archdiocese of Baltimore] have been undertaken twice in the past fifty years. The first attempt was made in 1954 at the request of the Archbishop Francis P. Keough.* The Maryland State Archives made a second attempt beginning in 1977. A majority of the parishes participated in the first microfilming project. Less than half participated in the second. Microfilm copies of the registers microfilmed by the Maryland State Archives are available for researchers to work with at the Maryland State Archives, the Maryland Historical Society, and the Associated Archives at St. Mary’s Seminary and University. The sacramental registers microfilmed by the archdiocese are available for researchers to work with only at the Associated Archives at St. Mary's Seminary and University.
