4 TWENTY-FIRST REPORT

ings; we have now made appreciable progress with the Inventories and Ac-
counts. We had previously completed this project in some scattered counties
of the State, but this year we gave special attention to the five Southern Mary-
land Counties. As a result, we were able to complete our present record pro-
gram for this entire area.

Filming the land records is a tremedous undertaking—there are more
than 11,000 volumes in Baltimore City alone!—nevertheless, we completed the
work in Calvert County; we have almost finished in Caroline County; Anne
Arundel has progressed to the present century, as has Baltimore County.
Other counties have made beginnings. The members of the Hall of Records
Commission will not find it difficult to imagine the great sense of security
which the completion of this project will give the Archivist and his Staff.

Respectfully submitted,

MORRIS L. RADOFF
Archivist and Records Administrator
