The Maryland Highway Safety Coordinating
Committee, established by Executive Order in
1972, acts as the central coordinating agency in
the planning and execution of highway safety
programs. The Committee is composed of execu-
tive and legislative branch department heads who
serve ex officio, and certain other members as the
Governor deems appropriate. The Executive Di-
rector is the administrative officer for the Com-
mittee.

Responsibility for administration of the State's
highway safety program has been vested in the
Department of Transportation. By Executive Or-
der, the Secretary of Transportation has been des-
ignated as the Governor's Highway Safety Repre-
sentative and has been delegated the Governor's
powers and authority for the highway safety pro-
gram, which have been redelegated by the Secre-
tary to the Division of Transportation Safety
(Code Transportation Article, secs. 2-401 through

The State Historical Records Advisory Board
was appointed in 1976 by the Governor to carry
out the national historical records program of the
National Historical Publications and Records
Commission. The program is a cooperative effort
of the Commission, the State Records Coordina-
tors, the Advisory Boards, and institutions and
organizations throughout the country concerned
with the records of the nation.

Through its national historical records pro-
gram, the National Historical Publications and
Records Commission encourages a greater effort
at all levels of government and by private organi-

zations to preserve and make available for use
those records, generated in every facet of life, that
further an understanding and appreciation of
American history. In the public sector, these his-
torical records document significant activities of
State, county, municipal, and other units of gov-
ernment. In the private sector, historical records
include manuscripts, personal papers, and family
or corporate archives that are maintained by a
variety of general repositories, as well as materials
in special collections relating to particular fields
of study, including the arts, business, education,
ethnic and minority groups, immigration, labor,
politics, the professions, religion, science, urban
affairs, and women. In addition to supporting
projects that directly relate to a body of records,
the Commission may also support projects to
promote cooperative efforts among institutions
and organizations and to improve the knowledge,
performance, and professional skills of those who
work with historical records.

Records program grants are not intended to re-
place support from other sources for historical
records projects; rather, they are designed to sup-
plement and expand such projects throughout the
country.

Further information is available in a pamphlet,
entitled Guidelines and Procedures: Applications
and Grants, available from the office of the Coor-
dinator.

The State Historical Records Coordinator is
the State Archivist. The Advisory Board contains
at least seven members, including the Coordina-
tor who serves as chairperson. Board members
serve three-year terms. They represent the archi-
val and research institutions and organizations in
the State.
