Washington Preservation Initiative 9 <br /> 2005 Grant Application <br /> 6. How will the library continue a program of preservation after the end of <br /> the grant period? <br /> Consider the following items in developing the response: <br /> • How will the library continue to maintain and update this project? <br /> • How will this project be sustained, for example, make the collection <br /> available to the public, implement the recommendations of a surveyor, etc.? <br /> R0004 n fuatio : % <br /> a <br /> I � ,s w W ", F n. a `:. *- �k,1 a,4 5'�' a ' :::', '-'441:73,-*,, <br /> ' �„s y`t `"F rb <br /> { ,� � _'T �, ?�,s.: _ ' .%k'��. `�'c; Tisa (c, <br /> thajit <br /> ? 4 .

Excellent evidence is found on our web site(www.epls.org),where we began <br /> our NW digital collections using a WSL grant to put our Everett Massacre collection online. <br /> We now have five such exhibits, and several more in progress. We used our previous <br /> preservation grant to build on preservation of panorama negatives that we had begun long ago, <br /> and in turn, we are now building on that grant with this application. <br /> Our Northwest historian, and this project's director,takes an active interest in preservation <br /> issues,and has continued to attend training and workshops to insure that she is basing her <br /> decisions on accurate and up-to-date information. <br /> Once the project has begun,these materials will demand full attention. In preparing and <br /> delivering them for microfilming, they will be checked thoroughly once again and <br /> recommendations will be made if materials or services are needed beyond the scope of this <br /> project. When the project is completed,besides having the valuable microfilms,the original <br /> manuscript items will have been given the best attention they have received since we added <br /> them to the library's collection. <br /> Once we have the material on microfilm,it will be treated as other microfilm,budget allowing <br /> for duplication when necessary and masters placed in archival storage. We also understand <br /> that OCLC charges a fee for storage of archival masters, and this is small enough to be easily <br /> included in our yearly materials budget. <br /> All of the material involved in this request has been available to the public in the past, some <br /> of it in a very restricted environment. Once the preservation work has been accomplished,we <br /> can add some of these manuscripts to our web site, encouraging a wider use than they have <br /> 18 of 25 Fr- 5 2 <br />
