DocuSign Envelope ID:AD5F5195-5261-42DC-B9BC-0C3A2COAA716 <br /> This would involve: <br /> - scanning original negatives <br /> - recreating the multi-image composites <br /> - printing the images <br /> - placing the new images in the old frames; replacing several frames <br /> - archiving the new digital images at the Wilson Library <br /> I have a record of the specific negatives used in each multi-image composition. I <br /> have used these records to estimate the work involved in the proposed restoration <br /> project. <br /> Community Impact <br /> The digitizing of the photographs will make if possible to <br /> (1) preserve this history in a library archive, <br /> (2) reprint the images for public exhibits as part of the 2001 Anniversary of <br /> EmPOWERment, and <br /> (3) generate copies and online resources for educational programs in Orange <br /> County. <br /> As anyone who walks along Rosemary Street and through the Northside <br /> neighborhood can testify, this documentary work, created to advocate for <br /> preservation of the neighborhood, is now a record of the historical predecessor to the <br /> present landscape. While groups like EmPOWERment work to maintain affordable <br /> housing and protect the neighborhoods, new buildings and more student housing <br /> have drastically changed Northside. <br /> In addition, in the normal course of time, many of the elders and leaders in these <br /> photographs have died. The children are grown - some staying in the community; <br /> others moving out as house prices and taxes rise. <br /> While my work cannot stop time or progress, it can pay tribute to Orange County <br /> history and keep memories alive. Regenerating this documentary material in digital <br /> form is critical to that tribute. <br /> Simone - Portraits of Northside- page 2 <br />
