SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In 2014, the McCall Public Library received funding from the Idaho State Historical Society and the Perc and Gladys A. Popisil Shelton Foundation for equipment to digitize the Library’s
collection of historical documents and newspapers. Volunteers have assisted with a portion of the archiving work, but it has been determined by Library staff that more help is needed.
The McCall Library was recommended for $1500 in FY LOT funding to hire a part-time temporary Library intern to assist with the archiving of the records, and the LOT funds would be used
as matching funds for other grants. The Idaho Heritage Trust (IHT) provides grant funding for projects that help preserve the “historic fabric of Idaho” to include buildings and artifacts.
The IHT grant requires a 50% match and the LOT funding would meet this match.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a 2016 Idaho Heritage Trust grant application for funding for a digital history project intern and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
