There is a project to develop an immigration center, but it is still in early development. They have a description at their web site at http://www.immigrationbaltimore.com/index.htm. They do not have an online database yet. Ellis Island has only had theirs for a couple years. Most of the Baltimore records are on microfilm and many are in Ancestry.com's database and CD's. The Baltimore City mail list gets many requests for lookups.
