302/Matyland Manual

An ongoing survey of Maryland's historic sites is
carried out by the Trust through contract with local
jurisdictions. Results of these surveys are being
published. The most significant sites are eligible for
nomination to the National Register through the
Trust. Properties listed on the National Register
receive a degree of protection from federally li-
censed or funded projects that might adversely
affect diem.

The Trust's community education program in-
cludes the administration of a local volunteer net-
work, represented by advisory organizations (one
in each county in Baltimore City, and in Annapolis).
Besides carrying out their own local preservation
programs, these organizations assist the Trust by
promoting its programs, grants and loans; sponsor-
ing Preservation Week activities; and advising the
Trust on preservation needs and interests. The Trust
conducts an annual conference and sponsors re-
gional workshops. It hosts special events and issues
publications, including news sheets and a quarterly
news magazine.

The Trust maintains a library of archival and
photographic material relating to Maryland's arche-
ological and architectural history

The Board of Trustees of the Maryland Histori-
cal Trust is composed of fifteen members. Twelve
are appointed to four-year terms by the Governor
with Senate advice and consent. Three serve ex
officio: the Governor, the Senate President, and the
Speaker of the House of Delegates, or their desig-
nees. Trustees appoint eight area representatives to
serve one-year terms. The Board also appoints the
Director.

Maryland's State Historic Preservation Officer,
appointed by the Governor pursuant to the Na-
tional Historic Preservation Act of 1966, is a mem-
ber of the Trust staff. Preservation activities as
required by the federal government are carried out
by the State Historic Preservation Officer in concert
with the Trust (Code 1957, Art. 83B, secs. 5-601
through 5-619).

takings on properties listed in or eligible for listing
