grants-in-aid and revolving fund program assist and encourage re- sponsible organizations and foundations in saving important buildings. The Trust, in carrying out its duties, has enacted a Statewide in- ventory of all Maryland landmarks of architectural, archaeological and historic value. Many structures and sites worthy of statewide interest, and based on their architectural, cultural, and/or historic significance, are placed on the Maryland Register. The National Register of Historic Sites and Places receives nomina- tions from the Trust for those districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American History. It lists those national, state and local landmarks which constitute the significant evidences of our past and encourages appropriate action, public and private, to insure this heritage. The Maryland Historical Trust has a well established program to purchase and restore buildings in Annapolis pertaining to the American Revolution in preparation for the Bicentennial of the United States of America in 1976. The three historic structures under restora- tion are the Victualling House, the Colonial Warehouse and the Artisans house. A fourth project, the Governor William Paca Gardens, one of the nation's most significant restoration projects, has already begun to enhance Maryland's Capital City. County Committees are being established for each of our twenty- three counties and Baltimore City. Their function is to prepare an inventory of historic sites and landmarks and enlist the aid of in- terested county individuals and local organizations in developing and directing programs for historic preservation and restoration on a local level. In addition to State funds the Trust has been able to obtain federal and private funds for its programs.
