​​​​​PHMC Annual Reports

The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) is the official history agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Created in 1945, PHMC is responsible for the collection, preservation, and interpretation of Pennsylvania’s heritage, which we accomplish through the Pennsylvania State Archives, The State Museum of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office, the Bureau of Management Services, and 23 historical sites and museums. The responsibilities of PHMC, which are based in the Pennsylvania Constitution, are further defined in the History Code and the Administrative Code.
