back at
2020
2020 has reminded us to check on our
neighbors, invest in what brings us joy, and take
care of our community. It also inspired us to
deliver Pop-Up performances to our seniors,
keep live music going with physically distant but
social outdoor concerts, create new opportunties
for engagement through our Roswell In Print
photography exhibition highlighting the essence
of our beautiful city.

Request Breakdown for Cemetery Improvement
•   Tree Planting – Replacement of fallen and or diseased trees throughout both side of the Cemetery
    (GPR Survey, Tree Survey, and site verification), Priority – High / Timeline, Fall/Winter 2021 &2022.
    Cost estimate is 15k to 20k/25k, installed.

•   South side water line installation – The north side is complete, and All About Irrigation is ready to go once
    budget is approved. Priority – High / Timeline – Winter/Spring 2021, cost est. for lines, approved spigots,
    + labor – 15 k

•   ORC Boundary Survey – Jay has requested an estimate for this work since we were considering having the
    perimeter clearing work done by an outside contractor. In doing this work with the close proximity it will be
    especially important to have a clear idea of the extent of the work. Priority – Medium / Timeline – Could be
    done very soon if necessary. Cost est. 10.5k

•   Various repairs (Not including restoration work) Immediate concerns: fixing the access road washout(s)
    Existing/ Longer term concerns: remove or mill as much asphalt as needed and add crusher run to create a
    consistent, 2 track access road, as exists on the south side access road.
    Priority – Medium / Timeline – Heavily dependent on R&P staff time and involvement

•   ORC Wall & Fence along Hwy. 9 – On hold. Have details to work out with RDOT and Engineer prior to being
    ready to go out to bid. Priority – Low to Medium, variable / Timeline – Delayed at this point. Cost – have
    old estimate, but plans have changed based on Engineer recommendations, and do not have updated
    cost estimate.
Roswell Historical Society is committed to do the following
                              via private fundraising
• Continue to repair monuments (234 repaired as of December 2020)
• Hold two monument cleaning events yearly (1000+ cleaned to date)
• Publish a quarterly newsletter reporting repair updates/events held (1,300 subscribers)
•  Research and tell the stories of those at rest there through the performance of
  “Beyond My Stone” and the development of Cemetery tours
• Locate descendants of those at ORC and record their stories, photographs, letters, etc. to
  be housed in the Roswell Historical Society/City of Roswell Research Library and Archives
• Honor the veterans buried there as well by placing American flags on their graves and
  participating in Wreaths Across America.
City of Roswell Research Library & Archives
          Research Library & Archives Request FY2022: $30,000- Archivist Salary

                 2020-2021 Partnership Highlights with the City of Roswell
•   Provided research and history for most recent Mill Park Signage
•   Provided research and history of Doc’s Place for Mayor and Council

ARCHIVE:
An archive is an accumulation of historical records & the physical place they are
located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over
the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the
function of that person or organization.
Our Challenge:
•   Out of Space-the Archives can no longer accept anything new into the
    collection
•   The effects of a Shared Space have taken its toll- presence of water
    intrusion, mold, improper ventilation, pests.
•   50% of collection is under a Conditional Deed of Gift Agreement-
    “Collection can be revoked at any time in the event RHS ceases to exist or the
    archival environment & public access to the collection can no longer be provided
    according to the national archival standards”
•   Impact to Roswell-
      •   Loss of King, Baker, Simpson Collections
      •   Loss of 1840’s photo collection- the earliest type of photos on record.
      •   Loss of the Civil War Collection, including personal letters from 5 US
          presidents with original signatures dating back to 1840’s
      •   Roswell Manufacturing & Textile Mill papers
      •   Rare piece of hair jewelry from Tiffany’s
•   No Museum in Roswell- Alpharetta/ Milton, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs
    and Marietta all have dedicated space and are vying for our collection.
Expand & Renovate the existing
        Cultural Arts Center
• Improvement of the current facility much cheaper than new
  construction
• Potential for corporate events with expanded meeting space,
  restrooms and kitchen area
• Will allow addition of exhibit/ museum area for RHS
• Create a more cohesive Cultural Center for both Business,
  Residents, and Visitors alike
