23.7. Advisory Bodies and Committees.-The National Committee of Archivists met in New Delhi on the 19th and 20th November, 1965, for its 18th meeting and made a number of recommendations. The Committee also organised a symposium on the 'Protection of Records and Cultural Property during an Armed Conflict' which was well attended. The Indian Historical Records Commission has been reconstituted. While doing so, two adjuncts of the IHRC, viz. Research and Publication Committee and Local Records Survey Committee have been abolished. Moreover, under the new constitution of the IHRC, only the State Governments having organised record repositories of their own, are eligible, to nominate representatives on the IHRC. Similarly, representation of the Universities on the IHRC is restricted to those who have faculties of History of their own.

23.8. Grants to State Governments.-Grants were given to the State Governments of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Madras, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab and Rajasthan for the compilation of material for the National Register of Records in private custody.

23.9. Programme for 1966-67.-The National Archives of India proposes to continue its programme of locating and acquiring documents bearing on modern Indian History, private papers of former Governors- General, Viceroys etc. as well as of eminent Indians who have played significant part in the Indian history.
