9t29t22, 10.49 AM 4.1 Collaboraiion * LTAC Clerk Review This year we joined the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce and increased our presence with CAMAH (Cascade Association of Museums, Arts & History) with the intent of broadening our partnerships and collaborations throughout Kittitas County. We partner and collaborate with over 40 businesses and organizations. Most of these partnerships and collaborations have happened by meeting in person with the organizer or business owner. Our group of volunteers have a broad reach and are deeply involved with our community which allows us to establish long lasting relationships. We are fortunate to have a strong partnership with Central Washington University's Department of Anthropology & Museum Studies and their Department of Special Collections and Digital Archives. Since 2017, we have utilized students and faculty to assist us with Ground Penetrating Radar and GIS mapplng ln Roslyn's Historic Cemeteries. This partnership has continued to strengthen the past 2 years with the use of student interns to assist with archival and online research for inclusion on our interactive digital kiosk located at the Roslyn Cemetery. Students created a visitor survey to be conducted this fall at the Roslyn Cemetery providing us with more in-depth data to assist them with creating an interpretive plan for us. This summer and fall students and faculty are conducting Oral History interviews with long standing members of our eommunity to capture their stories before they are no longer with us The Roslyn Downtown Association has provided use of their Creative Center, a beautiful and useful space to conduct these interviews, Networking has increased our reach to organizations outside of Kittitas County. lnvolvement with the Roslyn Cemetery has also provided us with the unique opportunity to network, collaborate and partner with several organizations located outside Kittitas County. Virtual meetings since 2020 have provided avenues of being included in meetings and collaborations with the Black Heritage Society of Washington, Newcastle Cemetery & HistoricalSociety, King County Historic Preservation Landmarks Commrssion, Museum of History & lndustry, the Association of King County Historical Organizations, Black Diamond Historical Society, and the Olympia Genealogical Society. We anticipate these collaborations will continue.
