9129122, 10:49 AM <br />4.1 Collaboration* <br />LTAC Clerk Review <br />This year we joined the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce and increased our <br />presence with CAMAH (Cascade Association of Museums, Arts & History)with the <br />intent of broadening our partnerships and collaborations throughout Kittitas <br />County. <br />We partner and collaborate with over 40 businesses and organizations. Most of <br />these partnerships and collaborations have happened by meeting in person with <br />the organizer or business owner. Our group of volunteers have a broad reach and <br />are deeply involved with our community which allows us to establish long lasting <br />relationships. <br />We are fortunate to have a strong partnership with Central Washington <br />University's Department of Anthropology & Museum Studies and their Department <br />of Special Collections and Digital Archives. Since 2017, we have utilized students <br />and faculty to assist us with Ground Penetrating Radar and GIS mapping in <br />Roslyn's Historic Cemeteries. This partnership has continued to strengthen the <br />past 2 years with the use of student interns to assist with archival and online <br />research for inclusion on our interactive digital kiosk located at the Roslyn <br />Cemetery. Students created a visitor survey to be conducted this fall at the Roslyn <br />Cemetery providing us with more in-depth data to assist them with creating an <br />interpretive plan for us. This summer and fall students and faculty are conducting <br />Oral History interviews with long standing members of our community to capture <br />their stories before they are no longer with us. The Roslyn Downtown Association <br />has provided use of their Creative Center, a beautiful and useful space to conduct <br />these interviews. <br />Networking has increased our reach to organizations outside of Kittitas County. <br />lnvolvement with the Roslyn Cemetery has also provided us with the unique <br />opportunity to network, collaborate and partner with several organizations located <br />outside Kittitas County. <br />Virtual meetings since 2020 have provided avenues of being included in meetings <br />and collaborations with the Black Heritage Society of Washington, Newcastle <br />Cemetery & Historical Society, King County Historic Preservation Landmarks <br />Commission, Museum of History & lndustry, the Association of King County <br />Historical Organizations, Black Diamond Historical Society, and the Olympia <br />Genealogical Society. We anticipate these collaborations will continue. <br />Last year we began conversations with local lodging partners listed under 4.3 Host <br />Hotel. <br />2500 character limit <br />lf-app-16-03.co.kittitas.wa.us/Forms/form/submission/history/77654/85641?hideHeader=true 9t't7
