archives commission is the examina-
ton of the condition and character Of
the public documents of the nation in
the different states, with view 10
obtaining such information concern
ing them as will make their existence
more generally known and available
for study. The commission endeavors
To secure state legislation whenever
necessary TO provide for the preserva-
tion OF these documents. The state
of Maryland through its legislature
has recently made liberal appropria-
tons for this purpose as has also Vir-
sinia and several other states.
In connection with the preservation
of historic documents. as well as their
systematic Arrangement, il must be
noted that the New England States
are greatly In advance. They have
authentic records and minute details
OF most matters connected with the
early history OF the country. includ-
ing even personal records or the pri-
vate soldiers enlisted in the Revolu-
tionary War They are still tireless
in increasing their wealth OF local
historical resource. Other parts OF
the country are following their exam
pie, but a vast amount OF valuable his
| torical data was lost before such steps
were taken.
The state OF Maine last year COM
| pleted the record Of a large collection
J Of public documents regarding the ear

Maine historical students are now es-
peCially interested in securing more
information regarding the earliest ex-
petitions against the French in Can
ada, a large number of which were
made before the Revolution.

annually awarded by the association

American and European history. In
the even years the Justin Winsor
prize. named in honor OF former
president. is awarded for the best

and in the odd years the Herbert BaX-
ter Adams prize is awarded the writ
or OF the best monograph upon sub
I ject OF European history These mono
graphs are published and constitute
valuable additions 10 the historical
literature OF the association.
A lage number Of other publications
devoted to American history besides
those OF the American Historical as
ISOLATION are issued each year. Al
most every state now publishes one
or more periodicals devoted 10 his
f, torical and genealogical research.
! Through their correspondents the
rural villages are reached with ex-
cellent results. Village improvement
