Archives of the Archdiocese of Baltimore Microfilm Collection

Efforts to microfilm the sacramental registers of the that comprise the 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. The following is a list of all of the parishes that participated in one or both of the microfilming projects. The list has been organized first by county, second by city or town name, and third by parish name. Parish establishment date and the name of the microfilm collection have also been listed. Microfilm copies of the registers microfilmed by the Maryland State Archives are available for researchers to work with at the Maryland State Archives and the Associated Archives at St. Mary’s Seminary & University. The sacramental registers microfilmed by the Archdiocese are only available for researchers to work with at the Associated Archives. The Maryland Historical Society has the Maryland State Archives microfilm for the following parishes in their collection: Baltimore City - Basilica of the Assumption, St. Peter’s Pro-Cathedral, Holy Cross, Immaculate Conception, Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Alphonsus, St. Ann, St. , St. James the Less, St. John German, St. John the Evangelist, St. Mary Star of the Sea, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Patrick, St. Peter the Apostle, St. Stanislaus; Outside Baltimore City - Mt. St. Mary’s/St. Mary’s of the Mountain Parish, Emmitsburg, St. Augustine, Elkridge, St. Ignatius, Hickory, St. John the Evangelist, Frederick, St. John the Evangelist, Hydes/Long Green, St. Mary of the Mills, Laurel, St. Michael, Frostburg, St. Mary of the Annunciation, Lonaconing.

According to the policy approved by the Archbishop of Baltimore, access to records of Baptism shall coincide with access to Federal Census records (current year minus 70 years). Records less than 70 years old are sealed to the public. No restrictions apply to records of First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, or Death (also referred to as interment or burial).

New Cathedral Cemetery records for the years 1871-1977 were microfilmed in 1977 and are available for researchers to work with at the Associated Archives at St. Mary's Seminary & University and the Maryland Historical Society.

If the name of the parish you are interested in is not listed below, you will need to write to the parish directly for assistance. The Archdiocese has posted contact information for all of its parishes (open and closed) on its website: www.archbalt.org.
