The types of materials already identified include books, periodicals, various types of primary and secondary historic documents, maps, photographs, and organizational records. Other possible resources include video and audio recordings, including collections of oral history. In addition to housing the resources, the facility will require staff and materials processing space, space for researchers, gathering spaces for symposiums and speakers, display areas, and security including lockers for visitors' bags. Environmental concerns must be addressed and the facility will be renovated to be conducive to the preservation of archival materials. Agriculture Services Building-Tier I B This project allows renovation of the building being vacated by the Land Services Departments mentioned earlier. Cooperative Extension, Soil and Water and two non- county agencies will occupy the Agriculture Services Building.

The current lease, which includes the space for both the Dental Clinic and the Public Defender, expires in June 30, 2008, and has an annual cost of approximately $105,000. Update: The SHSC can expand per the plan cited above. However, the long-term sufficiency of the expansion may be questionable if service delivery for Health services is modified pursuant to current discussions. The Orange County Health Department is exploring long-term service delivery options that would meet the XII
