Contract Please download the attached Contract and complete and sign two copies. Please mail both copies to the State of Iowa Historical Society when you submit your application. Please check yes if you've Yes downloaded your contract* Project Description Specifically identify the historical resource and state its significance.* City Directories are a significant historic resource when researching a historic property or finding information about past citizens /business of the City of Dubuque. It is a "must use" document when preparing Iowa Site Inventory Forms, National Register Nominations, Family /Business Histories, etc. or just trying to find where great grandma and grandpa lived or who lived in your house. Genealogy About. Com best summarizes the significance of city directories: For anyone researching ancestors in a city or larger community, standard genealogical resources often fall short. Newspapers generally mention only the influential, interesting or most newsworthy residents. Land records offer little help when researching renters. Census records don't tell the stories of individuals who moved multiple times between census years. City directories, however, offer an invaluable historical and genealogical resource. City directories offer anyone conducting family history research in a city or large town a nearly annual census of city residents, as well as a window into the community in which they lived. Genealogists all know the value of placing an ancestor in a particular time and place, but city directories can also be used to follow an individual's occupation, place of employment, and place of residence, as well as potentially identify life events such as marriages and deaths. Looking beyond the names of your ancestors, city directories also provide invaluable insight into your ancestor's community, often including sections on neighborhood churches, cemeteries, and hospitals, plus organizations, clubs, associations, and societies. Information Often Found in City Directories • Name and occupation of head of household (often men and female widows; later single employed females) • Name of spouse (often in parentheses following name of husband; mid to late 19th century) • Sometimes the names of children, often only those employed outside the home • Street name and house number of residence • Occupation • Work address (if employed outside the home) City Directories are a very significant and vital resource that can't be overlooked. https: / /www. iowagrants.gov/getApplicationPrintPreview.do?documentPlc= 1366815291731 04/25/2013 IowaGrants Page 5 of 12 3500 characters or less Provide an overview of the activities you will complete.* The project will involve hiring Advantage Companies to digitized reels of microfilm from 1856 -1991. Advantage will then Optical Character Recognized (OCR) and index each image. They will then provide the City of Dubuque with searchable Adobe Acrobat (PDF) documents and provided them on an external hard drive. In addition to the hard drive, Advantage Companies will host a website where the city directories can be access 24 hours a day /365 days a year. The City of Dubuque will then provide electronic copies of the searchable pdfs to the Carnegie Stout Public Library, Center for Dubuque History at Loras College and the Dubuque County Historical Society. The Dubuque Historic Preservation Commission will provide links to the documents on their website at www. cityofdubuque .org /historicpreservation and the Carnegie Stout Public Library will provide links to the document on their website at http: / /www.dubuque.lib.ia.us /. 3000 characters or less How will the proposed actions assist the historical resource ?* The proposed actions will assist the historical resource by the following: Help Preserve Original City Directories Presently, the original bound city directories are available to public at the Carnegie Stout Public Library. The directories are located in the reference section and may be access at any time when the Library is open. Because Dubuque is Iowa's oldest city and a point of origin for many families coming into America, they directories are used quite often (daily). Because of this the directories have been subject to years of wear and tear. Some of the documents have been written in and in some cases pages have been damaged or removed. This project could save wear and tear on this resource and help preserve these documents that are over 100 years old. Help Preserve the Microfilm The Carnegie Stout Public Library has a comprehensive group of city directories. However, not all of the city directories are in bound format, some of the directories are only located on microfilm. Overtime, the microfilm degrades and receives wear and tear by frequent use. A majority of the people accessing the city directories bypass the use of microfilm in favor of the bound directories for ease of use. The microfilm directories that are being used are primarily those directories of which there are no hard copies. This project will help preserve the microfilm of city directories especially those of which there are no hard copies available. More Accessible to the Public The digitization of the city directories will make them more accessible to the public. Currently, the directories are only available during the hours the Carnegie Stout Public Library is open or by appointment at the Center for Dubuque History at Loras College. The project will allow the documents to accessible via the Internet making them available 24 hours a day /365 days a year. Ease of Use The city directories will be in a searchable (OCR) pdf format. This will allow researchers the ability to use the "find" function of the pdf to rapidly search an entire directory in a matter of seconds. Most directories had a section that listed properties by street address and also a section that list names of individuals. If you only had an address it was easy to find who lived there, however, prior to 1900 the city directories only listed individuals and did not have a section listed by street address. In order to find who lived at a certain address, you would have to literally look through every name to find the address. The searchable function of the document will allow a person to research over a hundred years of a property in a few minutes that normally would have taken hours. 3000 characters or less How will the project have an impact on the local community?* The project will impact the community by: https: / /www. iowagrants.gov/getApplicationPrintPreview.do?documentPk= 1366815291731 04/25/2013 IowaGrants Page 6 of 12 • Helping preserve their history by digitizing the city directories. • Providing the documents in a easy to use format. • Allow City of Dubuque Planning Department (Staff to the Historic Preservation Commission), Carnegie Stout Public Libary Staff, Center for Dubuque History Staff, Dubuque County Historical Society Staff to better serve the citizens with their inquires about properties and family histories. • Reducing the cost of preparation of National Register Nominations, Iowa Site Inventory Forms, Family /Business Histories, etc. by significantly reducing the amount of time to research the city directories. 3000 characters or less Scope of Work Project Element Provide a brief description of action Timeline for this action step steps for this project element.

STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF IOWA City of Dubuque $ $2s7o.00 JULY 1, 2013 - NOVEMBER 30, 2015 IDENTIFICATION OF PARTIES (Article 1.0) • This contract is entered into by and between the State Historical Society of Iowa (hereafter referred to as "State" or "SHSI ") and CityofDubuque (hereafter referred to as "Grantee "). • The SHSI Public Trust administrator or designee is the State official designated to execute any changes in the terms or conditions specified in this contract. • The Grant Director is designated to execute any changes in the terms or conditions specified in this contract, on behalf of the Grantee. • "HRDP" means Historical Resource Development Program as defined in Iowa Code Chapter 303.16, and Iowa Administrative Code [223] Chapter 49. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (Article 2.0) • The purpose of the Historical Resource Development Program is to provide grants to preserve, conserve, interpret, educate the public about and enhance the historical resources of the state. • SHSI has been designated by the Iowa General Assembly to administer REAP /HRDP, and the grantee has been approved for funding. CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENTS (Article 3.0) • REAP /HRDP monies are to be expended according to Iowa Administrative Code [223] Chapter 49 and FY2014 grant guidelines (version published January 2013). • The Grantee must: • Give preference to Iowans and Iowa products and services in carrying out this grant. • Refrain from using REAP /HRDP funds to influence legislation or for any lobbying function. • Follow all local, state, and federal laws which bar discrimination against any employee, applicant for employment, or any person participating in a sponsored program, on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or physical or mental disability, and require compensation for employment at no less than minimum wage requirements, and provide safe and sanitary working conditions. These laws include, but are not limited to, Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. • Comply with applicable Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provisions. ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of physical or mental impairment (the definition of disability). The project must comply with ADA, unless (1) the property is a religious entity, a private club or private residence and not used as a place of public accommodation; (2) the property is an owner- occupied bed- and - breakfast with five or fewer rooms; or (3) the repair work is something like reroofing, masonry repointing, painting or wallpapering, or changes to mechanical and electrical systems that do not affect the usability of the property. If you can make minor adjustments in your project that would eliminate barriers in a way that meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation, you should do so. If your proposed work is an alteration that affects the "primary function area" of your property, ADA accessibility standards also apply to the path from accessible parking to and through an entrance. Building owners are not required to spend more than 20% of the total cost of altering the primary function area to make the path of travel to that area accessible.
