There is no state-wide index for the 1930 census. There is an index in book form for Caroline and Queen Anne's Counties, which was compiled and donated by Trish Surles. The Maryland State Archives also possesses two copies of the book 1930 Census Enumeration Districts, which describe what areas are included in each district. Each book contains a printed finding aid which correlates the National Archives microfilm reel number with the Maryland State Archives microfilm reel number.
