Why is this solution the best approach? (No <br /> more than 2 pages) <br /> Consider the following items in developing the response: <br /> • What is proposed to resolve the problem, alleviate the need, or take <br /> advantage of the opportunity? <br /> • What are the specific benefits of using this solution? <br /> • Has other funding been obtained to support this project? <br /> • Will the proposal have cooperative aspects involving more than one library <br /> or other cultural organization? If yes, describe the nature of the cooperation. <br /> • Who will implement the project and what are the qualifications of the <br /> vendors, consultants, and/or staff who will do the proposed work? <br /> • Will others benefit (e.g., will models for preservation or reports on <br /> preservation techniques be developed that can be shared with other <br /> libraries allowing them to develop similar projects)? <br /> • If this is a phased step in preserving a collection, how does the described <br /> solution fit into the plan for preservation of the collection? <br /> Review and Evaluation <br /> This question is worth 20 points Reviewers will look for: <br /> • A proposed solution that is withinscope of'the guidelines. <br /> • A propospd solution that is appropriate for the problem, need, or opportunity <br /> described previously. <br /> • Appropriateness,of treatments proposed. <br /> We will first have the maps digitally copied and then placed in archival storage. The originals will <br /> then be stored in our library archive and patrons will have access to these materials in digital <br /> format, in addition to the microfilm copies presently in use. <br /> Specific benefits are: <br /> 1. the care and safekeeping of two original color hardcopy Sanborn Atlases for Everett, <br /> Washington <br /> 2. greater public access by placing these online at our website <br /> 3. The project will serve as a model for other county heritage organizations. Project <br /> guidelines will be available. <br /> Project vendors will be professionals (TO BE FILLED IN WHEN I KNOW) <br /> 10 <br /> 6 of 16 <br />
