Criminal
Records Information and Access
The
Maryland
State Archives has in its possession a wide variety of criminal records
from
all 23 counties, Baltimore
City, and
the Courts of
Appeal. Access to these records varies according to jurisdiction, court
and
time period; what follows is a guide to modern criminal records at the
Maryland
State Archives.
DISTRICT
COURT DESIGNATIONS
In the
left
hand column, we have listed the county name, the district number
assigned to
that court, the county abbreviation and the letter which is used to
designate
that county as part of the case numbering system used by the court
since 1983.
DISTRICT
COURT RECORDS
In the
center
column, we have listed the record series number (with a link to the
inventory,
where an online inventory exists), the name of the agency (if the
agency was
not the district court), the series title, the years for which we have
records
in the series, a designation as to which facility the records are
stored in and
notes or explanations on how best to use the series. HF, OR and CW
designations
indicate documents under Hall of Records jurisdiction but housed
at off
site storage facilities. MSA or no designation indicates records stored
at the
Maryland State Archives.
The
modern
District Court System was established in July 1971. Prior to that time
each
county had a number of lower level courts, each with their own methods
of
creating and storing records. When these courts ceased to exist, their
records
went a number of different places. Many of them came to the Maryland
State
Archives for storage. These records were listed under the name of the
originating court. Some records were incorporated into the records of
the district/circuit
court, sent here and are listed under the name of the district/circuit
court. Some
records still remain in the custody of the district/circuit court.
Others may
well have been lost. We have listed the records that we possess for the
various
lower level courts in the District Court section of the guide.
DISTRICT
COURT INDICES
The right
column lists any indices that we possess for a record series. These may
be
dockets or electronic format. This does not include the CRIMINAL
JUSTICE
INFORMATION SYSTEM and the MARYLAND JUDICIAL SYSTEM CASE SEARCH. The
MARYLAND
JUDICIAL CASE SEARCH may be accessed from www.courts.state.md.us.
In
addition,
many of the dockets created by courts that existed prior to July 1971
contain
volume indices.
Many of
the
indices are still in the possession of the district court. Should you
need to
contact a district court please see List of
Maryland District Courts.
DISTRICT
COURT RECORDS ON MICROFILM
The
District
Court system has created a centralized records management center in Annapolis to be
responsible for the many records the courts have created over the
years. This
facility is known as the District
Court Record Center
or more familiarly
as the District Court Warehouse.
For a
number
of years, the record center has been microfilming and destroying files.
They
create two master rolls of film. They send one to the Maryland State
Archives
and keep one for their use. They access the records on the film through
a Kodak
records accessioning system, known as KARS.
As records are expunged, they are removed from the computerized records
accessioning
system. Since the expunged record is still on the film, this is a
restricted
record series. Any District Court or the Maryland State Archives can
obtain a
fax copy of a file from the District Court Record Center. We can also
make copies
directly from the film, by obtaining the roll and frame numbers from
the
District Court Record Center.
THE DISTRICT COURT RECORD
CENTER DOES
NOT DEAL
DIRECTLY WITH INDIVIDUALS. FOR ACCESS TO THEIR RECORDS, PLEASE CONTACT
THE
NEAREST DISTRICT COURT OR THE MARYLAND STATE
ARCHIVES.
CIRCUIT
COURT
RECORDS
The Maryland
circuit court
system was established in 1851. The Circuit Court Criminal Records
guide
follows the same format as the District Court Criminal Records guide. The left column shows the name of the county,
the center column lists the criminal records we possess, and the right
column
lists indices in our possession. Again, some of the individual dockets
have
volume indices.
In order to contact a circuit court for
assistance, please see the List of Maryland
Circuit Courts.
