The Hall of Records Commission and the Staff of the Maryland State Archives mourn the loss of the former long-time Chairman of the Commission, the Honorable Robert C. Murphy.  During his tenure as chairman, the present Hall of Records building was constructed and the archival program achieved a nationally recognized standard of public service.  His support and friendship will be missed.
