Newspaper Article Order Form IMPORTANT! This order form is for a photocopy of a single newspaper article. For multiple articles in a collection, submit a request per additional collection item. For more information, contact us by email at msa.helpdesk@maryland.gov or by phone at 410-260-6487.

While the Maryland State Archives has a large collection of newspapers, we do not have all of Maryland's newspapers. Additional records may be found at the Maryland Center for History and Culture, at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, in county libraries and historical societies, or still with the publisher.

Please see our Special Collections Maryland Newspaper Guide for the MSA Citation information needed to complete this form. Only titles described in the Guide with MSA Collection Numbers are available through the Archives.

For information on repositories holding newspapers, please visit WorldCat.

Fees
The non-refundable and non-transferrable fee is $35.00 per copy.

Please Note: An order consists of searching for one record, one name, one year, one place based on the information you provide. The Archives cannot guarantee results. If the search provides no record matching the information given, the fee is not returned, and you will be mailed a notification letter from the Archives.

Another search of additional names, years, or counties will require a new order.

Order Delivery
Response time in answering emails and fulfilling record requests may be impacted by the pandemic and our ability to get access to the records.
