At the November meeting, the Commission also welcomed its newest members of the House of Representatives from Connecticut, and the state archivist of South Carolina, representing the National Association of Government Archivists and Records Administrators.

The Commission approved a substantial revision to the State and National Archival Partnership grant program that will strengthen the nation’s network of archives at the state government level.
