It is one of 55 organizations in the states and territories of the U.S. that act in affiliation with the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) for the purpose of preserving, publishing, and promoting the use of documentary sources relating to the history of the United States. The Board's members are appointed by the governor and represent historical records creators, keepers, and users.
