SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Humanities Council supports projects focusing on literature, history, philosophy, ethics, languages, archaeology, art history, and other humanities disciplines involving Idaho
citizens. The McCall Public Library is seeking grant funding to allow for the hiring of a temporary, part-time archiving assistant for the Library’s Digital History project. Funding
from the FY17 LOT awards is anticipated for this project, and additional grant funds would allow for an increase in hours for the assistant, as well as a public presentation from University
of Idaho personnel on how to access and use the digital historic records. The Programming Librarian would provide training and project oversight.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a 2017 Idaho Humanities Council Mini Grant for the McCall Public Library’s Digital History Project and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
