To the Honorable Board:

Per the Community Preservation Committee’s recommendation on March 4, 2015, I respectfully request that your Honorable Board appropriate $43,000 for the City Archivist to hire a contractor to process a portion of the City’s permanent collections and create a record guide to make the collections accessible worldwide. The collections to be processed include the Board of Health Records, 1886-1960; Civil Defense Records, 1940s; Somerville Redevelopment Authority Records, 1960-1973, and Law Department Closed Case Files 1950s-1970s. The appropriation will be allocated to the Historic Resources category and funded from Undesignated CPA Fund Balance.

Respectfully,

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
