The Society’s Research Collection is housed in the Maryland Room of the Dorchester County Public Library, and is available to the public during regular library hours.  The collection is a valuable resource for those researching genealogy and local history.  It contains an extensive compilation of County land abstracts, tombstone and bible records, census results, local newspapers and maps, various wills and deeds, personal papers, family histories, scrapbooks and other pamphlets.  Back issues of the Dorchester Genealogical Magazine can also be found there.  To help researchers who cannot visit the library, we can provide genealogical research for you.  This service is available for a fee.  For additional information on this service, please contact the Society’s office at (410) 228-7953 or email to dchs@verizon.net.
