thaf your. WehWice bra`Ight digital readers from all cultural heritage orgcni,ationc together to char= idea{ and prGlctic=c AAy evperie_c_c with museums and hlctarical cociet+oc led to long-term interest in finding ways of proce=ssing rind precepting collections that document local and regional history, and mal'ing therm available to the public. I even seed for some tine on the organhation Ir'=mmittee nn Archiv=e 1 ihrarins, and AAIJeeIJme' that Iinke the American Library Association with th. American Alliance of AAiiseume, and the Cnc1ety far American Archivists. And of course, I make a practice of visiting local history museums wherever I travel_ I'm aware of the City's interest in expanding the Museum's physical presence, and I have extensive experience with building design and construction. I led the planning, design, and building of the new DU library, the Anderson Academic Commons, a $32M renovation project that has served ns a model for library collaboration with other DU academic_ and community partners. The DU library k truly a campus gathering place, featuring exhibits, programs, rollpctiDos, and learning opportunities of all kinds. It is this same concept that is so exriting nbout the Muse+!m project proposal: it will serve as a community education spore, rnnnecti❑g Louisville residents to their history in lively and meaningful ways. I've read the Louisville Historiral M11Ceurm Crimpus Masterplan, and the Proposal and Business Plan for the Louisville Visitor Center and Historical MuSeum and find it all Very compelling. I hope you agree that my eYperieore with and knowledge about cultural heritr+ge orgoni7pfionc pc wail ac my evpeliAGce with capitol projects, could be useful to the Historical Commission; I would be an enthusiastic member if selected. I am attaching my resume, which illustrates a long-time interest in cultural heritage advacacy, e Sincer-- —IY. Nancy Allen Wancylimile 2Aaag=ail.^^^= 2 18
