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[dubiousdiscuss] 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]
