Very good experience / needed a copy of moms marriage cert and received it in 2 days!
Our experience at the archives was wonderful. We made an appointment and everything we requested was set out ahead of time, and additional records we decided needed pulled were done so very quickly. Major shoutout to Morgan and Vickie, both were so incredibly kind and helpful— our visit would not have been as successful without their help!
I visited the Maryland State Archives in October to do family research. The staff is wonderful. A big shout out to Danielle and Darby for all their help.
I have had the honor of observing Ms. Danielle, and the team. The staff is a beacon for anyone that may need a little help mainly if you are a first timer like me. Ms. Danielle is truly passionate about helping people that are struggling. She took the time to explain with a little help I can now work the computer on my own. Ms. Danielle's passion is contagious. I am so grateful that there are humans like her doing good, to help, and making a positive difference.
The website was not functioning properly when ordering a document online. It kept indicating "cart empty" but little did I know it charged me. This happened in December and I've been in contact with them every month for a refund. All I get from them is "they are taking care of it". I'd like my $25 back.
I spoke to the help desk at least 12 times while doing family research. They were always pleasant and helpful. Never rude like you might find at the Dept of Vital Records.
Some things I needed were not available through an online directory, so I drove down one day. Being there in person was just as nice, and totally worth the 90 minute drive. They really do go above and beyond to make sure you know every possible avenue to what you may be looking for. I never felt rushed, or stupid because I didn’t know exactly how to ask for certain info.
The next time I go down, I’ll be sure to go in the morning so I have more time to go through everything they offer.

Great place to see American history as they often have displays that you wont see elsewhere. They offer fun classes/seminars and many books that you can sit in the reading room and peruse. Staff are friendly and helpful. Also, they are open on some Saturdays. Check out their website or sign up for their newsletter.
Lots of historical records; for that they should be getting a 5-star rating. We needed to look at Revolutionary War era records. The only complaint was their lack of creature comforts; they get a 0-star for that. They offer Annapolis city water and restrooms- that's it. Vending and food services are available for staff, but are off limits for visitors. We thought we would only be there an hour, but ended up spending 6 hours at the Archives. Warning: if you're unsure about the length of your stay, pack a lunch bag and store it in one of the lockers. There are no restaurants in the area.
