Board members reported progress on National Register nominations and other Historic Preservation Month activities. Elizabeth Degreener said the month had been mostly administrative and that invoices were paid, noting she is ready to resume project research and expects to deliver updated draft material in coming months.
The board confirmed the Du Bois award reopening (application period extended to July 31) and set the LeClerk Jones award event for June 6 from noon to 3 p.m.; marketing staff said they plan social media posts and shared historic photos to promote events. Members discussed coordinating photos and promotional material and asked staff to circulate images from the mayor's proclamation and prior events.
Members also discussed oral history efforts and a 1990 VHS-based video archive they are attempting to locate and potentially repost; staff said they will check backups in the clerk's office.
