Maryland archivist wins NGA distinguished service award
Maryland State Archivist Edward C. Papenfuse Jr. received one of the National Governors Association’s annual awards for distinguished service to state governments. Cited for 15 years of work organizing and maintaining archives spanning 350 years of political, economic, and social life, he was among five state officials and five private citizens honored at the NGA ceremony in Boise, Idaho. Governor Harry Hughes praised his history work and efficiency, noting the Hall of Records now serves double the requests and quadruple the records of 1975, with savings from new archival techniques. Monocacy Middle School will hold a Back to School Night at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29, in the cafeteria for sixth graders and new students and their families.
