DocuSign Envelope ID: 8FFCF3D9- 3AF5 -4C83- 9829- AC9D4975107C EXHIBIT A: PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION enhanced safety for the collection and to limit damage from external sources such as improper handling, unstable environmental conditions, vandalism, and pests. OCHM staff monitor and ensure the safety of the museum's collection for future generations, accession and catalogue objects into the collection, maintain digital and analogue files of objects in its collection, and conduct inventories. In 2018, we will move the collection to a new storage area, which will provide improved conditions for the collection. OCHM staff will prepare objects for the move, and review records and the conditions of objects before and after the move. The museum's collection - preserved and shared in our archives and galleries - continues to be a powerful tool for engagement in Orange County history by our community through educational and recreational opportunities. These high quality, no cost programs are the experiences that both the town of Chapel Hill and the OC BOCC are eager to offer community members. Without continued collection and preservation efforts, the museum's ability to teach, exhibit, and inform our community will be significantly restricted. For six decades, the OCHM has been a useful resource to those conducting research on Orange County. We strive to discover and document the history of Orange County, to promote local historical awareness, relate it to everyday life, and share it with interested researchers. The museum offers access to its collection documents for those researching Hillsborough and Orange County history, for both individual and community projects. The OCHM provides supervised research access to archival and acquisition files and our digital database as well. Museum staff offer researchers assistance with specific requests and share any information held in the museum collections. Staff also offer resources, including referrals in the community, to other organizations that may have information relevant to individuals' projects. t) Describe the community need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Chapel Hill Human Services Needs Assessment, Orange County BOCC Goals and Priorities, Town of Chapel Hill Council Goals, Carrboro Board Priorities, or other community priorities (i.e. Council /Board Goals).

The OCHM's ability to fulfill the Town of Chapel Hill and OCBOC needs expressed in relation to the museum's mission and goals, including provision of learning and recreational opportunities, are predicated on the successful preservation and conservation of the collections we hold.
