Snohomish County Historic Preservation 2/6/2018

5. APPLICANT INFORMATION Describe the mission and/or goals of your organization. How does the proposed project relate to and enhance them? Why is the proposed project a priority at this time? Everett Public Library's mission statement is short but powerful: "The Everett Public Library connects the community and all its members to resources and services that inform, educate, and entertain. We provide open access to lifelong learning. We embrace the future while preserving the past."As part of that commitment to preserve the past and educate the community, Everett Public Library has continuously funded the Northwest Room, staffed by two professional specialists, for 41 years. The Northwest Room is a valuable community resource. It allows anyone with an interest in local history to access a selection of its archival materials without restriction, free of charge. The Sanborn Fire Insurance maps are one of the most cherished of these publicly-available resources, but due to heavy use they will need to be taken off public display if left untreated. The preservation of the Sanborn maps has become a top priority because the wear and tear on binding and encapsulation threatens the condition of the maps. With proper and state-of-the-art preservation methods applied to the materials, the Northwest Room will be able to continue to provide access to this unique resource that helps fill the library's mission of preserving the past. 6.
