The Associate Reformed Congregation of Baltimore was incorporated in 1803 and located at Pitt (now E. Fayette) and Aisquith Streets. In 1900 it merged with the First Congregational Church to become the Associate Congregational Church and located at Maryland and Preston Streets.

The collection consists of a register listing adult members, occasional communicants, baptisms, marriages, deaths and removals for the years 1812-1865 and a separate index volume compiled in 1919.

The membership listings in the register are continuous from 1812 to 1845. According to a note in the register dated 22 September 1852, no membership records were kept between 2 May 1845 and 1 May 1851. A new list was compiled in 1852 by the pastor pro temp, George C. M. Roberts. The records then continue to 1855. In 1865 another list was complied by the pastor, F. Israel. Similar gaps occur in in the baptismal and marriage lists between the years 1851 and 1861 Records for the death list are either intermittent or non-existant between the years 1828 and 1861.
