MARYLAND MANUAL 301 The Commission acts as Statewide coordinator in preserving rem- nants of the black experience in Maryland. It specializes in historical preservation and research, unearthing and collecting historical mate- rials — art objects, memorabilia, manuscripts, photographs, and any other articles of significance dealing with black history and culture in the state. The Commission distributes resource materials to the community-at-large and local educational systems and institutions within the state. The Commission has given leadership in the area of historical preservation of landmarks and sites related to black history in Mary- land. At present it is conducting a Statewide historic landmark survey to locate and identify those sites which are of significance to the black experience in Maryland. Its investigations have uncovered a vast reservoir of materials which the Commission works to preserve and become a part of a permanent archive repository, where such materials will pass into the public domain so that future generations of scholars and students can be exposed to the rich heritage of the Negro in Maryland life and culture. The present Commission will be in operation until May 1974, at which time, the Commission will submit a comprehensive report com- plete with all its findings and recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly. One such recommendation will deal with the estab- lishment of a permanent Commission and a Museum or Center of Black History and Culture. The Commission also consists of an Advisory Committee consisting of twenty-one members (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., 1972 Supp., Art. 41, sec. 409). SALISBURY STATE COLLEGE Norman C.
