The Trust, in carrying out its duties has been engaged in a State- wide inventory of all Maryland landmarks of architectural, archaeo- logical and historic value. Many structures and sites based on their architectural, cultural, and/or historic significance, are worthy of State-wide recognition. A Maryland Register is being considered. The National Register of Historic Sites and Places receives nom- inations 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 Ameri- can Revolution in preparation for the Bicentennial of the United States of America in 1976. The four historic structures under restora- tion are 10 Market Space, 77 Main Street, 4 Pinkney Street, 43 Pinkney Street.
