The Executive Director, acting as project manager, is directly responsible for OCHM's preservation and conservation policies and practices. The HFHOC board is responsible for all acquisition decisions. Initial review of artifacts is made by a special collections committee, of which the Executive Director is a member. Any final decision about artifact accession is made by the full HFHOC board. The Executive Director and Collections' Interns work together on managing the collection, giving local college students valuable work experience. w) Describe the specific period over which the activities will be carried out and include an implementation timeline. Implementation: July 1, 2018 -June 30, 2019. Our preservation and conservation activities are a part of daily routine in a perpetual cycle of caring for our collection. Collections activities are ongoing throughout the year, as OCHM staff responds promptly to community offers of donations. x) Why is funding this program a good investment for the community? How does funding this program add value to the community? (250 words OR LESS) People, events, and objects from the past give a community its sense of identity and help tell its story. These resources are the most tangible reflections of a community's heritage. The recognition of an area's historic resources can bring about neighborhood revitalization, increased and sustainable tourism, economic development through private investment, and citizenship building. More than 4.8 billion artifacts are held in public trust by more than 30,000 archives, historical societies, libraries, museums, scientific research collections, and archaeological repositories in the in the United States. Sadly, a lack of public funding places a third of these items at risk of being lost. For example, our own current public facility is not adequate to preserve our fragile and priceless collection for future generations. For the museum to provide exhibits and educational programs and allow access to archival collections, we must have a collection that is properly preserved and conserved. The core mission of the museum is, and has been since 1957, to provide protection and care for treasured artifacts held in our collections for the enjoyment and education of the Orange County community and visitors around the world who come to visit the OCHM. y) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced allocation is recommended. If we do not receive requested funding or receive a reduced allocation of funding, the museum would be forced to lessen the amount of research requests we fill and to assess which programs to cut in order to continue critical preservation of objects. z) What percentage of your target population is low- moderate income? 100% aa) What efforts do you make to seek feedback about your program from your target population (e.g. survey, evaluations, etc. ?) bb) Include any other pertinent information.
