24 <br />Planning to share digital copies of documents <br />Have no primary documents <br />Will give all files (they do not have "archival documents") <br />Collection does not contain any primary material, only abstracts, books, etc. <br />"Can you ask for documents if you don't give them?" <br />4) Do you think one of the existing agencies should take on the task of overseeing the archives? Which one? <br />If not, then who should? <br />foundation/Museum but they would need to relocate. <br />Orange County Historical Museum in conjunction with the Alliance <br />Continued under county, library <br />History museum is most likely <br />It should be a government entity rather than a historical agency. <br />Orange County Museum most likely <br />Museum, only if they can handle the staff and space needs. Do not currently have. <br />Most logically OCHM, they have the base collection... included in Heritage Center. <br />5) Will you be willing to contribute financially by percentage or flat fee to the included in the arrangement? <br />Would add another line item {less support to all the other agencies) <br />Would be willing to fundraise (approx. $S00) <br />Limited financially <br />Depends on the cost. Possibly pay (eventually) for the staff position <br />Probably something small ($1000) <br />Might be able to justify $100 a year <br />Doubtful County would pay to participate <br />Willing to give a percentage of money however, feel a virtual approach is more appropriate. <br />Needs to ask board. If needed to house collection, I think we would participate. Right now free of charge. <br />Fee for document-no. <br />6) How should the Heritage Center be managed? Should you have a voice in the <br />management? Answers extensive. <br />If heritage center had a competent staff, don't think every organization have a say in management. <br />Archivist should staff. They would report to some board <br />Ok with Foundation overseeing, but with collaboration with county government. <br />Town probably wouldn't want to participate <br />Foundation Board would oversee, though the county would need to be represented. The archivist would <br />report to Museum Director. One facility for the museum and the archives. Therefore oversight by board <br />and County. <br />Board, but a working board with knowledge of archives. If you have stuff in the <br />center, you should have a say. <br />
