BALTIMORE CITY
ARCHIVES
(City Papers, Index)

MSA CE 40, derived from scans of MSA C 171, an index of Baltimore City records originally compiled by the Historical Records Survey of the Works Progress Adminstration (WPA).  For a discussion of the WPA in Maryland, see: Edward C. Papenfuse,  "A Modicum of Commitment: The Present and Future Importance of the Historical Records Survey." The American Archivist, April 1974.

Note: In 1982 the Baltimore City Archives reorganized the papers originally sorted and indexed by the Works Progress Administration  into record groups. For the record groups to which papers were assigned and reboxed see WPA-HRS Record Groups, Baltimore City Archives, 1982. Item numbers were retained and the Record Groups boxed in chronological Order. For the electronic version of the inventories, click on the CE number below.  For a general overview of  the Record Groups of the Baltimore City Archives, see William G. LeFurgy, ed., The Records of a City: A Guide to the Baltimore City Archives, 1984.

Some record groups are in the process of being scanned and compiled into ebooks for editing and transcription, such as:

BCA RG 22

An example of a Record Group that has been imaged for editing and transcription purposes is RG22,. Record Group 22 of the Baltimore City Archives.  The images are provided for transcription and research purposes only.  Permission to reproduce must be secured from the Baltimore City Archives.
