FrederickRoots exists to serve as a resource for researching the history of the African American families of Frederick County, Maryland. Particular emphasis is placed upon the small farming communities of the County. Over the years, our work has revealed that most of the families of these communities have their roots in slavery. A primary mission of this site is to trace those roots back to the first slave who was freed, identifying his or her owner, location, and documents of manumission.

This site has some incredible records for researchers. It is a must explore if your early ancestors had roots here.

This report looks at the types of barns found in mid-Maryland (Frederick, Washington and Carroll counties) from the mid-to-late eighteenth century through the middle of the twentieth century.

A Guide to Digitized Baltimore City Directories

Visualizing Early Baltimore - Visualizing Early Baltimore is a fully three-dimensional, interactive digital model of Baltimore, circa 1815, that provides connections between the past and today. The IRC has been working on various aspects of this digital visualization since 2012, combining historical research with cutting-edge modeling and mapping technologies to re-create an accurate 3D model of the city, its terrain, land use, and buildings in the early 1800s. The Bicentennial of the War of 1812 provided a catalyst and funding for the IRC to use the experience gained from its Visualizing Early Washington, D.C. project to develop this accurate map and 3D depiction of the Baltimore cityscape shortly after the famous bombing of Fort McHenry that inspired the words of the Star-Spangled Banner.

This site attempts to reconstruct a family tree of early British Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia's Northern Neck Counties along the Potomac and Rappahannock River Valleys.

The Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History, part of the Salisbury University Libraries, has a unique digital collection of historical Eastern Shore newspapers. Thanks to digitization of data, we no longer have to search through reams of newsprint. Made possible, in part, by a grant from the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, this collection includes digitized regional newspapers from 1745 through 1922. Please visit the collection of historical Eastern Shore newspapers.
