The committee shall consist of five members, appointed by the President-elect to staggered 3-year terms. The Chair of the committee shall be appointed by the President-elect from among the members. The committee shall select sites where individuals or institutions have made outstanding contributions to the physics enterprise.  These sites will be included in the American Physical Society Register of Historic Sites.  The committee shall approve the wording on the plaques that are presented for display at selected sites and work with representatives from the sites to arrange for suitable presentation ceremonies. A maximum of four sites can be selected by the committee in any calendar year. The Chair of the committee shall maintain the Ledger that is the official record of the Register of Historic Sites, and shall report from time to time to the Executive Board on the committee's activities.
