In case you were planning a genealogy research trip to the DAR Library in Washington, D.C., be aware that it is closed until April 1, at which time the executive board will reassess the status. The National Archives & Records Administration (NARA) - everywhere, including the Presidential Libraries around the nation - is also closed to the public. The Library of Congress (LOC) is closed for in-person research at least until April 1. The Maryland State Archives in Annapolis is closed for public research. In Baltimore, the Maryland Historical Society is also closed to the public until April 1, as of their latest announcement. If you planned to go to a courthouse in Maryland, check this link to see their current status. Some of you may belong to one of the lineage societies that meet in Washington, D.C. each April and I urge you to see if your meeting is still being held. If your event is still "on" and you were thinking of researching in other nearby states, this is a reminder to check at the state, county, city levels and with the individual historical societies. In the meantime, stay healthy.
