To: Historical Commission Members From: Bridget Bacon, Museum Coordinator Date: August 11, 2009 Re: Activity Report Activity Report The following are some recent projects that may be of particular interest to the Commission. The Summer 2009 Louisville Historian is being printed and is to be mailed shortly. I recently researched and wrote reports for City and the Historic Preservation Commission about the histories of four historic Louisville properties for which there have been demolition permit applications filed. I located, scanned, and printed historical photos for the walking tour of downtown Louisville that was recently held for the members of Historic Boulder, and supplied other information about the histories of downtown buildings and the development of the town. Sample photo policies of other museums and libraries are being collected in preparation for revising the City's Museum Photo Policy. For the second quarter of 2009, the Historical Commission collected sales taxes in the amount of $21 for the City of Louisville and $30 for the State of Colorado on gross sales of $1487. I have been working with Commission members and volunteers on the Museum's Oral History Project and the Holiday Home Tour. The Museum was contacted about a request for someone to speak to the members of a local organization about the Museum and Louisville history for about thirty minutes on Tuesday, October 20 at 9:00 AM. It would be very helpful if a Commission member could do this. Please let me know if you are interested. The Museum will be closed on Tuesday, September 8th. Historical Museum Correspondence & News Coverage Copies of recent publications from other museums and area historical organizations, and the August 2009 issue of Money Magazine featuring a photo of the Historical Museum, will be available to view after the meeting.
