	World War II brought home the real threat of German attacks on the East Coast of the United States, just as the attack on December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor brought panic to the West Coast and the deportation inland of the Japanese American population. Shipping all along the East Coast was disrupted by German U Boats, and public officials in Maryland became concerned about the loss of vital historical records at the State Capital, Annapolis. At a meeting in the Governor's office at the State House on December 11, 1941, plans were made to move the records inland to Western Maryland. The fears of loss were not unfounded. U Boats were sighted in the Bay as well as at its mouth. When Harvard University, several decades later, divested itself of duplicate U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey maps of the Chesapeake Bay, offering them to the Maryland State Archives, they turned out to be Charts stamped with swastikas intended for the use of U Boat captains.<br />		World War II brought home the real threat of German attacks on the East Coast of the United States, just as the attack on December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor brought panic to the West Coast and the deportation inland of the Japanese American population.

	Dr. Morris Radoff, only three years into his 36 year term as Archivist, was charged with organizing the move. For Annapolis this would not be the first time. St. George Peale, the brother of the noted colonial artist, was given the same assignment in 1777 when the British fleet came up the Bay. Peale actually moved the records only to have his expense account disputed in classic bureaucratic fashion, and Dr. Radoff had second thoughts when he found how much it would cost to move the original records in 1942. Instead, he suggested security microfilm, to which the Governor and the Hall of Records Commission agreed.<br />		Dr. Morris Radoff, in 1941 only three years into his 36 year term as Archivist, was charged with organizing the move.

	<br />		<br />
	Interestingly enough, the concern was greatest, not about current records, but about the oldest historical records of the State, possibly because only six years before the State had built a state of the art archives building christened The Maryland Hall of Records, and had begun moving all the historical records of the State there from local courthouses where the threat of fire and loss was endemic. By 1946, 256 reels of what Dr. Radoff referred to as the most important holdings of the Maryland Hall of Records (now known as the Maryland State Archives) were completed. The War was over, but the needs of scholars and the concern about future disasters remained. The Hall of Records Commission, chaired by the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, on the advice of Dr. Radoff, determined that it would be wise to send copies of the microfilm to California (the Huntington Library), Utah (the Mormon Church), and London (The British Library). The Hall of Records kept one copy in Annapolis, and the Library of Congress retained the master negative in Washington. With a significant subsidy from the Library of Congress, headed by Dr. Radoff's friend Luther Evans, the transfer to the Huntington Library and the other repositories was under way by December, 1946, with the Huntington gratefully acknowledging receipt the following January.<br />		Interestingly enough, the concern was greatest, not about current records, but about the oldest historical records of the State, possibly because only six years before the State had built a state of the art archives building christened The Maryland Hall of Records, and had begun moving all the historical records of the State there from local courthouses where the threat of fire and loss was endemic.
