Alabama Historical Commission
American historic preservation agency / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alabama Historical Commission is the historic preservation agency for the U.S. state of Alabama. The agency was created by an act of the state legislature in 1966[which?] with a mission of safeguarding Alabama's historic buildings and sites. It consists of twenty members appointed by the state governor or who serve in an official position. The members represent a broad cross section[dubious ā discuss] of Alabamians including architects, historians, archaeologists, and representatives of state universities.[1] The commission is tasked with acquisition and preservation of historic properties and education of the public about historic sites in Alabama.[2]
