The MGS Links collection features links to many national websites with military records such as the National Archives and Fold3. But it also features Maryland-specific content, including guides to materials at the Maryland Center for History and Culture and the Maryland State Archives. In our Members Only webinar collection, MGS members can learn more about Maryland's involvement in America's early wars by viewing the webinar Colonial and Revolutionary Military Records of Maryland.
Researching the military service of Marylanders is featured in many articles in the Maryland Genealogical Society Journal and the Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin. Several articles from the Journal listed below highlight the variety of subjects covered. These and many other articles may be read by MGS members in the Members Only collection of the MGS Journal and MGS Bulletin online.
