SCOPE OF COLLECTIONS Broad description of the museum's primary emphasis for its collections CFM's institutional mission statement guides its collecting process. I. Statement of Purpose Cape Fear Museum collects, preserves, and interprets objects relating to the history, science, and cultures of the Lower Cape Fear region, and makes those objects and their interpretation available to the public through educational exhibitions and programs. II. Collecting Parameters A. The Lower Cape Fear region is defined as a 50-mile radius from Wilmington, N.C., which includes all of New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties, parts of Columbus, Bladen, Sampson, Duplin and Onslow counties, as well as the Atlantic Ocean. B. The criteria for accepting an object into the Permanent Collection are established through answering the following questions: 1. For a Natural History item, is it indigenous to the region? 2. For a Material Culture item, was it made or used in the region? Thus, the collection is intended to represent all aspects of the region, from natural history to history, from preliterate times to the 21 st century. C. An object not made or used in the Lower Cape Fear may be accepted into either the Permanent or Demonstration collections if: 1. a Lower Cape Fear example is not available, and 2. if the object is typical of, and can be used accurately to reflect, Lower Cape Fear life, culture, people, or places of historical significance. D. CFM primarily collects three-dimensional objects. It also collects two-dimensional objects that are of a visual nature and can be exhibited, such as photographs, drawings, etc. Two- dimensional objects that are not visual in nature, such as letters, newspapers, bills, invoices, etc., are more useful as research tools and are referred to the Local History Room of the New Hanover County Public Library. (See Chapter 4, Categories of Collections.) E. CFM makes every effort not to compete with the collecting mission of other cultural institutions in the region. F. CFM does not accept human remains.

Pg.10 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 10 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy C. RESEARCH LIBRARY COLLECTION The Research Library Collection contains publications, periodicals, etc., relating to the history, science, and cultures of the Lower Cape Fear, and resources for all aspects of museum management. These materials are not formally accessioned and do not circulate publicly, but are intended for reference by CFM staff and, when appropriate, by the public through research appointments. D. MUSEUM USE COLLECTION The Museum Use Collection contains unaccessioned items useful in the administration and maintenance of CFM. Such objects maybe: (1) office and other equipment; (2) items desirable for use as signage, graphics, or decorative displays; (3) exhibition properties. E. ARCHIVE COLLECTION Any offers to donate large groups of archival materials will be referred to New Hanover County Public Library (NHCPL). The NHCPL's Local History room specializes in collecting two- dimensional objects for research purposes, while the Museum focuses on collecting three- dimensional objects for exhibition purposes. In this fashion, the Library and Museum —separate government agencies of New Hanover County —work together to preserve the region's history. f Offers to donate archival materials, when the donor does not want them made available to the public for research purposes, may be accepted by CFM. Such offers will be reviewed on a case - by -case basis. 6 Prior to 2007, CFM routinely accessioned business, personal and event-relatedpapers and documents into the Permanent Collection. Due to a lack of space for continuing to house such archivecollections, as wellas a lack of staffresources for making them available to the public, it was decided that CFM would transfer its archives to the LocalHistory room ofthe NHCPL. NHCPL has more storage space to accommodate a growing archive collection, and is better situated to receive and assist researchers wishing to access them. CFM's collections were processed by temporary, paid interns who sorted, arranged and described the archives so that the materials could be immediately available for use by library staffand customers once transferred to the NHCPL. By the end of2007, allof CFM's archive collections that hadthe donor's permission to be made available to the public were relocatedto the NHCPL's Local History room. Pg.11 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 11 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy 5. ACQUISITIONS/ACCESSIONING Specific criteria for additions to the collection; outline of the decision -snaking process. CFM acquires for its Permanent Collections objects that are consistent with CFM's Statement of Purpose and Collecting Mission. Such objects are: (1) related to Lower Cape Fear history in that they are connected to local persons, places, or events of the region; (2) reflective or illustrative of Lower Cape Fear's natural environment; (3) representative samples of Lower Cape Fear area material culture. Fine art, specifically nonrepresentational art, shall not be sought; however, portraits of Lower Cape Fear residents may be accepted as well as fine art representing the architecture, landscape, or lifestyles of the Lower Cape Fear area. (4) representative of preliterate or historic cultures indigenous to the Lower Cape Fear area. (5) in good condition, or able to be exhibited in their present state. An object with a strong connection to Lower Cape Fear history but in poor condition maybe accepted with the knowledge that conservation treatment will be required for the item to be displayed. A. Objects not made or used in the Lower Cape Fear may be accepted only if Lower Cape Fear area objects are not available. The object must be typical of, and can be used accurately to reflect, Lower Cape Fear life, culture, people, or places of historical significance. B. CFM will collect foreign culture material (i.e., outside the United States) only insofar as the material was actually used in the Lower Cape Fear, or pertains to the ethnic origins of its inhabitants, and not simply collected as an art object or an object of curiosity. CFM acquires objects for its collections through donations, bequests, purchases or exchanges. The curator, or an individual designated by the director to act in that capacity, will be the CFM signatory on all Contracts of Gift. I. DONATIONS: A. Only unconditional gifts will be accepted. CFM cannot accept objects on which restrictions are placed. The donor must hold clear title to the object and have obtained it legally. B. All gifts are considered outright and unconditional property of CFM. The donor will not receive any goods or services in exchange for the donation. C. Donations to CFM of objects or money that meet the requirements of charitable contributions under Internal Revenue Code (Section 170) and related regulations (section 1.170A-1) are tax deductible. Pg.12 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 12 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy II. BEQUESTS: A. Title to an object may pass to CFM through a will. B. CFM maintains the right to accept or refuse all or part of a bequest. For a desired object, CFM will transact with the executor of the estate. The executor must provide a copy of the provision of the will concerning the bequest and a final receipt for CFM to sign. III. PURCHASES: A. An object may be purchased for the collection using County funds. The purchase may be made at auction, from or through dealers, or directly from an individual. The bill of sale and proof of payment will be placed in the accession file. B. The purchase of an object using County funds and priced up to $999, will be approved by the Director. An object priced at or over $1000 will be recommended by the Director to the Museum Advisory Board for approval. IV. EXCHANGES: A. An object may be acquired through exchange, or trade, with another museum or public institution. The object exchanged should be of relatively equal historical and monetary value, and may require a professional appraisal to establish value. CFM handles all acquisitions for its Permanent Collection, whether donation, purchase, bequest or exchange in the following manner: 1. Objects offered as a donation, purchase, bequest or exchange, are taken in to CFM on a Temporary Receipt. Where physical custody is impractical prior to acceptance, objects will be photo -documented. 2. Collections staff will gather enough information from the donor/owner to complete an Acquisition Review form. The form will contain: a. Provenance b. How object meets Collecting Plan c. Condition d. Estimated costs for preservation / conservation / storage e. Room required for storage f. Recommendation for acceptance / rejection 3. Research is conducted to confirm the owner's/donor's object provenance and expand on information about owner/user/relevant event, significance, and historical context of the object. Also, an Acquisition Condition Report form is completed. Pg.13 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 13 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy 4. Collections staff reviews objects and their acquisition and condition report forms during their weekly meeting. Objects that do not meet the collecting criteria will be returned to the owner, or disposed of with the owner's permission. Objects that meet mission and collecting criteria are accepted by the staff and the Acquisition form is signed by the curator and the director. The objects then move forward to the Collections Committee for review. 5. The Collections Committee reviews the Acquisition Review forms. Collections staff will make the objects available to be inspected by the Committee upon request. Acquisition forms are signed by the Collections Committee chairman. The Committee then submits a synopsis of all items to the Museum AdvisoryBoard for their review. 6. Objects offered for purchase and priced at $1000 or more must be approved by the Museum Advisory Board. 7. The Museum Advisory Board reviews the Committee's synopsis of items and then signs the Acquisition forms. Should the value of the items donated not exceed $5000, the director submits the synopsis to the County Manager, or their designee, for review. When approved the meeting date is entered onto the Acquisition forms. Should the value of items donated exceed $5000 the director submits the synopsis to the County Board of Commissioners for their review. When approved at the Commissioners' meeting, the meeting date is entered onto the Acquisition forms. 8. When the review process is completed, donated objects will be written up on a Contract of Gift for the donor's signature. Once signed, the donation will be accessioned into the Permanent Collection. For objects to be purchased with County funds, the owner's invoice will be submitted to County Finance for payment. Once payment has been received, the objects may be accessioned into the Permanent Collection. Pg.14 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 14 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy 6. DEACCESSIONING/DISPOSAL Specific criteria for removing an objectfrom the collection; direction on how to dispose of the object, a statement of how the proceeds will be used; outline of the decision -making process. CFM may remove objects from the Permanent Collection through Deaccessioning and Disposal. I. DEACCESSIONING: A. Deaccessioning is the formal process of removing objects from the Permanent Collection. Deaccessioned objects may be retained by CFM for transfer to the Demonstration, Museum Use or Research Library collections, or they may be disposed of as hereinafter provided. Deaccessioning serves to upgrade the quality of the museum's collection, and to reduce storage problems, record keeping, and insurance costs. B. Objects proposed for deaccessioning shall be judged in relation to the whole Permanent Collection. Areas of judgment shall be condition, history, duplication, association, and value for exhibition, study, and reference. Objects may be removed from the Permanent Collection if they: (1) do not adhere to the Statement of Purpose and Collecting Parameters (see Chapter 2, Scope of Collections); (2) are in poor or deteriorated condition; (3) have no known history or provenance; (4) duplicate better examples already in collection; (5) are reproductions that are readily replaceable. C. The curator shall propose for deaccessioning and disposal objects based on the above criteria. Upon agreement of the director, the proposal will be reviewed by the Collections Committee, which will recommend approval and disposition to the Advisory Board; they shall review and return their decision to the curator. Upon their agreement, if the value of the items does not exceed $5000, the proposal will be reviewed by the County Manager or their designee. Should the value of the items proposed for deaccession or disposal exceed $5000, the proposal will be reviewed by the County Commissioners. No deaccession or disposal will be made without the approval of the Advisory Board and the County Manager. II. DISPOSAL: A. Disposal is the process by which deaccessioned objects are physically removed from the museum's Permanent Collections through transfer, exchange, sale, or destruction. Transfer of objects will be to another collecting institution and will have no fees attached other than the cost of transportation. Destruction is recommended for hazardous objects and unauthorized or counterfeit objects. B. The removal of objects deaccessioned from the Permanent Collection allows the museum to hone its collecting plan and policy, obtain space in order to continue collecting, and provide funds toward object acquisition and conservation. Pg.15 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 15 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy C. Objects will be disposed of as outlined below: 1. Objects deemed to have no monetary value by the curator, director, Collections Committee, Advisory Board and County Manager (or their designee) shall be disposed of in a proper manner. 2. Disposal of objects with monetary value will take the form of: a. Permanent Transfer to other governmental agencies and institutions: realizing that, in certain circumstances, CFM can benefit from the release of deaccessioned or unaccessioned objects from exhibit or storage and, in return, the release would benefit another government agency or institution, it is the policy of CFM to consider such action. b. Exchanges: The formal reciprocal transfer of deaccessioned or unaccessioned material between CFM and another governmental unit often serves to advance the objectives of CFM. Such exchanges can occur through private negotiation when done in accordance with the provisions set forth in subsection 2.c.(5)(e) and 2.c.(5)(f), below. c. Sales: Deaccessioned or unaccessioned objects may be sold, subject to the following guidelines: (1) The goal of all such sales of CFM property shall be to bring the best possible price for the material. (2) There shall be no private sales of CFM's deaccessioned objects to any individual directly related to CFM operations (staff, board members, volunteers), or their agents or representatives. (3) Method of sale shall be determined by the director, subject to the approval of the Advisory Board and County Manager (or their designee) for items valued up to $5000, and additionally a resolution by the County Commissioners for items valued in excess of $5000. (4) All funds received from the sale of objects or collections, after deduction of expenses of sale, shall be placed in a Museum Acquisition Fund and used for the conservation treatment of CFM's collections or the acquisition of new artifacts. Any expenditure from this fund in excess of $1000 will require the endorsement of the Collections Committee and the majority vote of the Advisory Board. (5) The following methods and procedures of sale or exchange shall be utilized. (a) Private Sale. Any one item or group of similar items valued by an independent, third -party qualified appraiser at less than $10,000, may be sold by private negotiations and sale. Property worth in excess of $10,000 may not be sold by private negotiation and sale. When CFM proposes to dispose of property by private sale, the County Commissioners at a regular meeting shall adopt a resolution or an order authorizing CFM to dispose of saidproperty byprivate sale Pg.16 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 16 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy Pg.17 at a negotiated price. The resolution or order shall be published once after its adoption, and no sale shall be consummated thereunder until ten days after its publication. G.S. 160A-267. (b) Advertisement for sealed bid. The advertisement for sealed bids must be published in a newspaper that has general circulation in New Hanover County one week before the bids are opened if personal property is being sold. The advertisement shall describe in general the property to be sold; tell where it might be examined and when and where the bids will be opened; state that a 5% bid deposit is required and will be retained if the successful bidder fails to consummate the contract; and reserve the right to reject any and all bids. Bids are to be opened in public, and the award is made to the highest bidder. G.S. 160A-268. (c) Negotiated offer, advertisement and upset bids. CFM may receive, solicit, or negotiate an offer to purchase property and advertise it for upset bids. When an offer is made and CFM proposes to accept it, it shall require the offerer to deposit 5% of his bid with the county finance officer and shall publish a notice of the offer. The notice shall contain a general description of the property, the amount in terms of the offer, and a notice that within ten days any person may raise the bid by not less than 10% of the first $1,000 and 5% of the remainder. When a bid is raised, the bidder shall deposit with the county finance officer 5% of the increased bid, and the county finance office shall re -advertise the offer at the increased bid. This procedure shall be repeated until no further qualifying upset bids are received, at which time the museum may accept the offer and sell the property to the highest bidder for cash. Any and all offers may be rejected at any time. G.S.160A-269. (d) Public auction. When it is proposed to sell personal property at public auction, the Board of County Commissioners shall at a regular meeting adopt a resolution or order authorizing the director of CFM to dispose of the property at public auction. The resolution or order shall identify the property to be sold and set up the date, time, place and terms of sale. The resolution or order (or a notice summarizing its contents) shall be published at least once and not less than ten days before the date of the auction. G.S. 160A-270. (e) Exchanges. CFM may exchange any real or personal items belonging to it for other real or personal property by private negotiation if it receives a full and fair consideration in exchange for its property when such an exchange complies with the provisions of N.C.G.S. 160-27 (f) Sale, lease, exchange and joint use of government property. CFM may, upon such terms and conditions as it deems wise, with or without consideration, exchange with, lease to, lease from, sell to, purchase from, or enter into agreements regarding the joint use by any other governmental unit of any interest November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 17 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy in property that it may own, subject to the approval of CFM's Board of Trustees and the County Commissioners, pursuant to the terms of G.S. 160A-274. (g) Other methods of sale and disposition. In addition to other methods of sale or disposition herein set out, CFM shall have all other authority to sell or dispose of its property as more particularly set out in Article 12 of Chapter 160A of the North Carolina General Statutes. D. CFM will fully document the justification and review process of object disposal. Records, including title transfer, bill of sale, or record of payment, will be maintained. Objects will be photographed prior to disposal, and all records will be retained permanently in the original accession file.

Pg.22 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 22 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy 8.OBJECTS FOUND/ABANDONED/UNCLAIMED Discussion of how the museum will handle objects with unclear title. CFM makes every effort to document the receipt of gifts, keep up-to-date contracts for active loans, and to return loaned objects to their owner. However, making contact with the rightful owner can, on occasion, be problematical. As an agency of New Hanover County government, CFM must comply with state laws regarding abandoned and unclaimed property. I. RETURNING LOANED OBJECTS TO THEIR OWNER A. At the conclusion of a contracted loan, CFM will contact the owner to make arrangements for the object's return. Contacts, by email or telephone, will be documented and kept in the loan file. B. If, after three months, contact cannot be made with the object's owner, CFM will attempt to make contact by letter. A copy of the letter will be kept in the loan file. C. If, after a second three-month period, CFM cannot make contact by letter, it will follow up with a registered letter. A copy of the registered letter will be kept in the loan file. D. If, after a third three-month period CFM cannot make contact by registered letter, an advertisement or notice, stating the owner's last known address, will be placed in the appropriate local newspaper in an attempt to locate that person. A copy of the printed notice will be kept in the loan file. C. If, after a period of one year, CFM is unable to elicit a response from the owner, it will consult with the New Hanover County Legal Department to determine if the objects are to be, officially, considered unclaimed loans. II. UNCLAIMED LOANS For all loaned items that are considered to be unclaimed, CFM will follow North Carolina state laws and statutes as written in GS 11613-51 and 5121-7(c) and 121-7(d). III. OBJECTS FOUND IN STORAGE An object found in CFM's collections that has no accession number, documentation about the donor, a signed Contract of Gift, or provenance is presumed to be undocumented property of the Museum. IV. PRESUMPTION OF GIFT An object that has been left in the custody of CFM (typically at the Front Desk) without any written documentation as to its owner, gift status, or provenance will be considered to donation, and that the intent of the owner was to make the object a gift to CFM. Pg.23 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 23 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy 9. CONSERVATION/CARE Outline of the museum's obligations and commitment to the preservation of collection items. CFM practices preventive conservation and care through the proper handling, storage, display, and maintenance of appropriate environmental conditions for its collections. I. HANDLING OF OBJECTS A.

Food for special events and programs must be managed according to the following guidelines: • Food and beverages are NOT permitted in the exhibition areas. • Food/drink must be prepared in the Williston Auditorium and Break Room kitchens. • Food/drink may be served and consumed in Williston Auditorium, the Learning Center, the Break Room, the freight elevator and adjacent loading dock area, and at the conference table in the library. • Program presenters may store/consume water in closed bottles in exhibition areas; however, bottles must be removed immediately after the event/program. • With the Director's permission, the first floor hallway (from the staircase to the education offices) and the second floor hallway (from the staircase to office doors), may be used for food / beverage service and consumption. Refuse trays or bins must be strategically positioned outside galleries for the collection of food and food service items (plates, glasses, napkins, etc.) • Caterers must move through office areas only. NO catering traffic is allowed to move in or through galleries with artifacts. • Immediately after the event/program: 1. All remaining consumable food must be covered and refrigerated. 2. All trash, including food scraps and disposable items (plates, glasses, paper products, and serving utensils), must be removed from the Museum to the dumpster. 3. Kitchens must be thoroughly cleaned: food droppings picked up, counter tops wiped off, disposal run, dishwasher run, floor swept, etc. D. COLLECTIONS STORAGE 1. All new donations are inspected for signs of pest infestation. If live pests, or their carcasses, are discovered, the object(s) will be frozen for up to 6 weeks as a precaution. 2. NHC Property Management maintains a contract with an exterminator for quarterly inspections and sprayings of CFM's building. In basement collections areas, spraying is permitted only in the main hallway, restroom, mechanical room, freight elevator pit, freight/passenger elevator control rooms, and exit stairwells. The spraying of chemicals Pg.26 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 26 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy in collections work and artifact storage areas will take place only when requested by staff. 3. Collections work and storage areas will be monitored with pest sticky traps. Traps are placed throughout the basement floor along the outside walls of storage, registration and the conservation lab. Traps are inspected monthly and any pests are entered into a log sheet. If necessary, traps can be bagged to show to the exterminator for pest identification and remediation. VI. CONSERVATION A. Any conservation treatment performed on objects in CFM's Permanent Collection is for the purpose of stabilization7 and will be reversible. CFM does not restore$ objects in the Permanent Collection. B. Condition surveys, performed by a conservator, are conducted on categories of collections in order to have documentation of conservation needs. The conservator produces a survey report that includes a ranking of the severity of condition, and a treatment proposal, with cost estimate, for each object. C. CFM prioritizes objects for conservation based on the following criteria: • Exhibition. The object is slated for exhibition, and conservation is needed to put it in proper condition for display. • Importance. The object is deemed to be of immense historical value to CFM and its community, and therefore merits treatment. • Condition. The object has been examined by a professional conservator and deemed to be in need of treatment according to a priority ranking. • Available funding. Funding becomes a priority when a significant object is identified as in critical need of conservation. D. CFM has no trained conservators on staff and must contract out for conservation services. CFM works only with professional, trained conservators, and will ask for a resume or list of credentials, and references, before contracting new services. Conservators are required to provide CFM with a treatment proposal and cost estimate for their work, as well as a final treatment report with photographs to document the process. Stabilization —Treatment procedures intended to maintain the integrity of cultural property and to minimize deterioration.

INSURANCE & RISK MANAGEMENT An overview of the museum's approach to safeguarding the collection and the types of insurance coverage to be provided. CFM works with its governing body, New Hanover County, to maintain insurance coverage and prevent risk to collections. L INSURANCE COVERAGE A. New Hanover County's Risk Management (NHCRM) department is responsible for maintaining adequate insurance coverage of CFM's collections. CFM has a fine art museum collections insurance policy with blanket coverage for its own collections, long-term incoming loans, temporary incoming loans or receipts, and pending donations, whether on exhibit or housed in storage. The policy also includes limits for collections off -site or in transit. B. Coverage is based on current market value as determined by certified appraisals, or staff estimates using public sale records and/or price -guide books. C. Each year, prior to policy renewal, CFM provides information on the current insurance value of its objects to NHCRM. D. Each year, CFM selects a group of artifacts to be appraised for insurance purposes. The appraisal is conducted by a professional certified and accredited appraiser. The final written report is used to update insurance values, and any change in object values is reported to NHCRM. E. CFM's registrar reports to NHCRM any changes in the status of its insured collections, such as incoming or outgoing loans, new acquisitions, or loss. F. NHC's insurance company commits to performing Loss Control Inspections of CFM's facility and reviewing its risk management policies and procedures. IL RISK MANAGEMENT A. Artifacts in CFM's care are treated in a manner to minimize any risks (See Chapter 9 Conservation/Care.) B. During open hours staff routinely checks exhibits for any problems. C. Additional steps may be taken to safeguard objects while on display —such as hiring security guards, securing galleries with locks and/or electronic alarmsas the situation warrants. D. Incident reports filled out by staff document any instance of artifact damage or loss. The report captures information such as the nature of the damage, a description of the incident (if known), and should include photographs as documentation. There is a section for recording insurance and conservation information as well. Pg.28 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 28 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy E. The general public does not have access to collections storage areas. Only staff with keys may enter. Volunteers and interns have supervised access, while outside vendors and appointed guests must be accompanied by a staff member at all times. (See Chapter 13. Access.) F. CFM has a security alarm system that is activated when staff are not present. The alarm is tied in to a central security station, located offsite and monitored around the clock. G. CFM's building is equipped with fire alarms and manual pull stations on each floor. Fire extinguishers are placed throughout the building. Their locations are marked on evacuation floor plans, with copies conspicuously placed on each floor of the building. CFM is also located directly across the street from the City of Wilmington Fire Department headquarters and is inspected annually by the City of Wilmington Fire Marshal. H. The entire basement level of CFM's building —containing collections storage, conservation lab, and registration area —is alarmed with water/temperature/humidity sensors. When activated, the alarm system dials the collections unit's cellular telephone, which is at all times carried by a collections staff person. This allows for quick response to inappropriate environmental conditions that could damage collections. I. CFM has an Emergency & Disaster Preparedness & Response Plan that is reviewed, and updated if necessary, annually. J. CFM is registered with a professional disaster recovery company. In the event of a disaster, or in advance of an anticipated disaster like a hurricane, CFM will notify this company to be on standby to provide recovery services. (See Emergency & Disaster Preparedness & Response Plan) K. Pest management services are provided quarterly, and as needed, by contractors with NHC's Property Management department. Every effort is made to keep food, drink, trash, live plants, and any other things that attract pests, away from collections. (See Chapter 9, Conservation / Care.) L. Condition reports are prepared for new acquisitions, as well as incoming and outgoing loans.

DOCUMENTATION / COLLECTION RECORDS A list of the type of records to be maintained and the standards for documentation. CFM creates and maintains the following records for the purpose of documenting and managing its collections. I. PROVENANCE DOCUMENTATION RECORDS A. Before an object is accessioned into the Permanent Collection, staff will assess its provenance and conduct any necessary historical research to verify the donor's information. This may include genealogical research to accurately date an artifact based on who owned it; research into the event the object is associated with, etc. An object with no known provenance, or one that cannot be verified, may not be accessioned. B. When an object is being proposed for the permanent collection, the curator will document in writing the logic behind wanting to accession it (e.g., it strengthens the 18th century collection; it represents a significant business in the region). Acquisition Form is completed for each donation to be considered for accessioning into the Permanent Collection. The form identifies information needed to evaluate the donation's appropriateness for the collection, such as: a. Owner's contact information b. List of objects c. If it relates to Natural History or Material Culture d. If it has display appeal or has archival use e. Duplicates other items in the collection f. How it meets CFM's Collecting Plan g.

ACCESS Discussion of access and confidentiality concerning the collections or collection records. With regard to its collections, CFM's mission dictates that a balance must be struck between preservation and access. Museum staff and the general public need access to the collections owing to CFM's mission of interpretation and education. The following are meant to guide how CFM's collections are accessed by staff and the general public. I. PERMANENT COLLECTION Best practice for the care and safety of permanent collection objects dictate how these objects can be used. In general, only collections staff and trained collections volunteers/interns will handle these objects. A. CFM's permanent collection is stored in secured areas —registration, collections storage, and the conservation lab —that are controlled by collections staff. Collections staff, namely the curator, registrar, historian, and collections assistant, are allowed access to the secured areas at any time without signing in. B. In the absence of collections staff, collections storage areas may not be entered without prior permission —except if the elevator control rooms must be accessed, or in case of an emergency. In these situations, the visitor's log must be filled in before entering collections storage. C. With collections staff present, collections storage areas may be entered by the Museum director, housekeeping staff, exhibits staff (for the purpose of accessing exhibit mounts, furniture, etc.), and education staff (for the purpose of accessing the Demonstration collection or laundry). When entering into collections storage, they must sign the visitor's log. D. Collections volunteers and interns are not allowed to work in collections storage unless they are being supervised by collections staff. When working in collections storage for the day, they must sign the visitor's log. E. Maintenance workers and contractors may be allowed to work in collections storage but must be supervised by a CFM staff person at all times and must sign the visitor's log. If such work requires the protection or relocation of an artifact, it must be done by a collections staff member. F. Specialists, such as appraisers, conservators, etc., may access permanent collections objects with the approval of the curator, and where possible, will be supervised by collections staff. If they need to enter collections storage they must sign the visitor's log. G. When permanent collections objects are exhibited, secured vitrines, lockable cases, physical barriers, and/or security mounts must be used. H. When permanent collections objects are used in public programs or other educational activities, secured vitrines, lockable cases, physical barriers, and/or security mounts must be used and collections staff must be present. Pg.3 6 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 36 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy I. Permanent collections objects may not be removed from storage or exhibit areas without the permission of collections staff, and then only by collections staff, unless in an emergency. J. Objects from the collection may not be used as office decor. K. Objects from the collection may not be stored or exhibited where food and/or drinks are consumed. L. The general public may only access collection areas with the prior approval of collections staff or the director. Individual visitors may be allowed to tour collections when escorted by a collection staff person. Group visitors may be allowed to tour collections stooge, but will be escorted by two collections staff —or the director and a collections staff person —at all times. Tour groups are limited to 15 visitors. All visitors and/or groups entering storage must be entered onto the visitor's log. M. Outside researchers may access CFM's collections by appointment but must be supervised by staff at all times. Basic catalogue information on objects maybe provided to researchers. Restricted information not provided to researchers includes the object's insurance value, and the donors contact information. N. To access photographic collections, researchers will use copies in place of direct examination. Researchers must receive prior approval by the Curator to access original images in the collection. O. Collections records are comprised of paper files and computerized catalogue records and are accessible to collections staff and trained collections volunteers. Collections staff and trained collections volunteers may enter or change data in the computer database. Selected CFM staff — the director, exhibits coordinator, public relations specialist, and educators —have access to the computerized collections records in a read-only format. P. All use of the permanent collection shall conform to laws and policies governing intellectual property, including copyright and fair use. Q. Requests for use of images from the collection, or of images of collections objects, are covered by CFM's Reproduction Policy and Chapter 17. Photography/Filming. II. DEMONSTRATION COLLECTION A. CFM's Demonstration Collection is kept in a separate area within collections storage. B. Collections staff manages the cataloguing and storage of the Demonstration Collection. C. Education staff has unlimited access to the Demonstration Collection, with the ability to move objects in and out of the storage area as they are needed for programs and/or events. Pg. 3 7 November 17, 2014 Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 5 - 1 - 37 Cape Fear Museum ofHistory and Science Collections Policy D. Items in the Demonstration Collection may be loaned to other institutions. While a Facility Report is not required of the loaning institution, some requirements, including the loan paperwork, will be executed as outlined in Chapter 7. LOANS. III. RESEARCH LIBRARY A.

APPRAISALS Statement of whether the museum will conduct appraisals for donors. A. CFM does not provide object appraisals or dollar valuations to the public. B. No member of CFM staff shall conduct or provide an object appraisal for a donor, or other individual, for any purpose whatsoever. C. Upon request, CFM may provide an alphabetical list of certified appraisers, but will refrain from recommending any single individual or firm. D. When a donor has already given objects, and needs to have a valuation for tax purposes, CFM will assist by preparing lists or making the objects available for examination by an appraiser selected and employed by the donor. It is the responsibility of the donor to supply the appropriate tax forms to CFM, the appraiser and the IRS. E. In accordance with risk management practices, CFM does obtain appraisals or dollar valuations for objects in the Permanent Collection. F. CFM staff does estimate the value of its objects for insurance purposes only. G. CFM annually hires a certified professional appraiser to examine and value a small portion of its collection for insurance purposes only. Such values are for internal use only, and are not to be divulged publicly, as a measure of security. H. CFM prioritizes objects for appraisal based on the following criteria: • Exhibition. The object is slated for exhibition, and an appraisal is needed before it goes on display and becomes accessible to the public. • Importance. The object is deemed to be of immense historical value to CFM and its community, and therefore merits an appraisal. • Available funding. Funding becomes a priority when a significant object is identified as in critical need of appraisal.

LAWS Reference to various laws that affect collections or collecting activities and the museum's commitment to adhering to them. Due to the nature of CFM's collections (see Chapter 2: Scope of Collections) most national and international laws concerning cultural property have little bearing on the Museum's activities. However, CFM is aware of these laws. 1. NATIONAL AMERICAN GRAVES PROTECTION AND REPATRIATION ACT (NAGPRA) CFM does not collect human remains. 2. CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES (CITES) CFM does not collect endangered animal or plant species. 3. NAZI ERA PROVENANCE CFM does not collect objects of European origin that may have been taken forcibly by the Nazi regime during World War Il.

RIGHTS & REPRODUCTION Reference to the ownership of rights of collection objects. L RIGHTS A. CFM acknowledges that intellectual property laws (such as copyright), governing non- physical rights to a work, exist separately from ownership of a physical object. B. According to the Contract of Gift signed by donors, gifts to the Museum's collections transfer to CFM all legal and beneficial title as well as all owned copyright and literary rights associated with the property. Owing to its nonprofit educational mission, CFM may use collection objects, including photographs, or reproduction images thereof, according to "fair use" practices. CFM will make a good faith effort to secure permission to use material to which it may not hold rights. II. REPRODUCTIONS A. CFM makes images of its collections objects, including photographs, available to the public. CFM attempts to hold copyright and literary rights for the items in its collections, but it makes no representations or warranties and assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any claims against an applicant.

In early 2020, NCDOT received a citizen request and legislative request from the office of Representative Charlie Miller to investigate whether a speed limit reduction on River Road was warranted. After an examination of existing conditions, including traffic speeds and roadway conditions, NCDOT has determined that the presence of bicycle infrastructure along the roadway merits a reduction in the speed limit to ensure bicyclist safety. NCDOT has coordinated with county staff, including the Sheriff's Department, to investigate the request and determine enforcement capacity.

Housing instability is a key issue in the Economic Stability domain of the Social Determinants of Health. In New Hanover County (NHC), life expectancy is 80.2 years for White & 75.3 years for Black newboms—a disparity 26% wider than the nationwide gap. The NHC Board of Commissioners recognized racism as the force behind "persistent discrimination and disparate outcomes in many areas of life, including housing," and "the reduction of Racial inequity as a critical priority and essential to effective and systemic delivery of health and human services." NHC's long history of systemic racism has persisted long after Wilmington became the final Confederate port to fall to the Union. After the 1898 white supremacist coup that violently overthrew the local government, murdered at least sixty Black men, and sent more than 6,000 Black residents into exile, Black voter registration in North Carolina dropped 95 percent in just six years. From 1921 to 1967, healthcare in Wilmington was "separate but equal." White patients went to James Walker Memorial; Black patients went to Community Hospital. Only since the integrated New Hanover Memorial Hospital opened has healthcare access been for all. Florence Nightingale theorized "the connection between the health and the dwelling of the population is one of the most important that exists." I'm eager to join the Workforce Housing Advisory Committee to increase equitable access to affordable, quality housing, and, by extension, health, for New Hanover County's systematically marginalized communities. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? The NHC Community Survey identified lack of affordable housing as the second most significant issue negatively affecting the quality of life, and 21 percent of NHC residents report severe housing problems. NHC's median value of owner -occupied housing units is 41 percent above the state average, despite a median household income just 0.6 percent above the state average. NHC owner -occupied housing unit rate is 7.8 percent below the state rate. 15 percent of NHC residents and 21 percent of NHC children live in poverty. In NHC, the median monthly housing costs for rent is $978, and 54 percent of NHC renters spend more than 30 percent of their household income on housing. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, cost -burdened households (those spending more than 30 percent on housing) have little leftover each month to spend on other necessities such as food, clothing, utilities, and health care, and Black and Hispanic households are almost twice as likely as white households to be cost -burdened. NHC must continue to foster partnerships with non-profit and community -based organizations, such as the Wilmington Housing Authority and Feast Down East collaboration to provide access to affordable, healthy, local foods. I echo the 2009 U.S. "Surgeon General's Call to Action to Promote Healthy Homes" to a "dynamic and coordinated effort" to "develop imaginative and realistic solutions that will help ensure that safe, healthy, affordable, and accessible homes are available to everyone in the United States."

First and foremost, I have a strong desire to be on this committee because I want to assist in bringing more high quality workforce/senior housing to the wonderful people in New Hanover County/City of Wilmington. Having grown up in Wilmington since elementary school, I have seen the growth Wilmington has had first hand. I have also seen first hand the increase of cost of living as well as the growing gap of housing. So when this joint committee was created I have been extremely interested in joining. Being in the multi -family workforce/senior housing industry professionally I feel I can be a positive asset to this committee moving forward. Now more than ever the residents of New Hanover County/City of Wilmington need the members of this committee to speak out and support their need for more housing and to have the chance to assist in this effort would be special. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? Being on the development side professionally, many developers in the county/city face extreme challenges during the rezoning process which makes the success of adding more quality of workforce/senior housing difficult. Easier pathways through the rezoning process for workforce/senior housing would be an area of focus I would like to see addressed. That said, rezoning is occurring in the first place because the county/city does not have the most favorable zoning ordinances for multi -family workforce/senior housing (understanding we have been working on this with the new LDC). Lastly, this committee played a critical role in presenting the affordable housing bond to the city council/county commissioners. I would like to see the committee suggest ideas on how to communicate what the affordable housing bond is, what the dollars will be allocated to (home ownership, rental housing etc.) to the people of Wilmington/New Hanover County. Qualifications for serving: I believe I have several qualifications that I could bring to this committee if appointed. First, I have been working for a workforce/senior housing development company based in Wilmington for 2 years now. I absolutely love it and cannot see myself doing anything else. Secondly, can provide insight and suggestions on how the Low Income Housing Tax Credit through NCHFA works (difference between 9% vs. 4% tax credits), insight on financial modeling of these types of projects, how to incorporate tax-exempt bonds to a 4% tax credit deal and can also assist in discussions on how to allocate soft dollars to the County Commissioners/City Council (ex. Affordable Housing Bond that is on the November Ballot). With the experience of working with larger municipalities (Charlotte, Raleigh) on their affordable housing soft dollars process and application, I could provide suggestions on how this process could work for New Hanover County/City of Wilmington. Lastly, I have an Unlimited General Contractors License in the State of North Carolina and I am a licensed Certified Public Accountant in the State of North Carolina.

I value this community as my forever home and understand the potential housing crisis that we face in the future. it's always gratifying to be part of a solution.

I find it disconcerting that some of the hardest -working people in our community have a lot of difficulty finding affordable housing in the proximity of their jobs. Not only is it a benefit to well-being & lifestyle to work, live & play in a general vicinity, but ultimately it can also translate to reducing traffic issues.

I would like to enhance the presence of the committee in the community thereby increasing the knowledge of our African American culture and possibly decreasing the self hate we see daily.

Gender Female Race White Age 40 Do you have a family member employed by New Hanover County? No Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 12- 3 - 13 Applicant's Employer University of North Carolina at Wilmington Department of Anthropology Occupation Assistant Professor of Biological Anthropology Professional Activities My professional activities reflect my expertise and interest in women's health and equity. Background and Introduction I am a biological anthropologist and human biologist who specializes in the intersection of biology and culture. My focus is on the disparities of health, and health equity particularly surrounding women and gender. I have experience working for and with diverse communities at the local regional, national, and international level. Relevant Professional Research As a professional, I have designed, conducted, and developed research on a range of women focused issues. These range from studying the impacts of stress on pregnant women in New Hanover Country following Hurricane Florence, to addressing disparities in treatment in pregnant Pacific Islander women during delivery, and women's barriers to protection from Zika Virus in American Samoa and in Guatemala. I have also conducted and published research addressing women's barriers to STEM careers in the United States. Most recently I have spearheaded a collaborative campaign to address period poverty and menstrual equity in New Hanover Country. In addition to raising over 25,000 menstrual products to address the short term need of menstruating people in New Hanover County, I collaborated on education and outreach regarding this unmet need with multiple community partners including SEEDS of Healing, YWCA Lower Cape Fear, the Frank Harr Foundation, and the League of Women Voters of the Lower Cape Fear. Relevant Work Experience - Assistant Professor Biological Anthropology University of North Carolina Wilmington (Tenure granted and begins August 2021) - Affiliate Professor UNCW Women and Gender Studies - Member UNCW Gender Studies Research Center Advisory Board - Chair Public Relations for the Human Biology Association (outgoing) - Nursing Assistant Specializing in Elder Care and Rehabilitation (8 years of experience) Volunteer Activities My volunteer activities reflect my commitment to gender equity and reducing barriers to resources. I am committed to opportunities that take an intersectional approach to community needs. I am active volunteer with multiple organizations in New Hanover County. These include the NAACP, SEEDS of Healing, Frank Harr Foundation, and SAGE. Some highlights include: -Periods Don't Stop for Pandemics (2021): Organized a county wide campaign of menstrual hygiene products. This campaign is ongoing at the time of this application, but we have raised over 25,000+ donations as of 5/3/21. These materials will be distributed to multiple partners (including YWCA Lower Cape Fear, A Safe Place, Bridges of Wilmington, Good Shepard Center, LINC INC, Roots of Recovery, Walking Tall, UNCW Hawk's Harvest and more), This event was a collaboration with SEEDS of Healing, Frank Harr Foundation, YWCA Lower Cape Fear, League of Women Voters Lower Cape Fear, UNCW Gender Research Center, UNCW Department of Anthropology, and I Support the Girls. -Member of the NAACP Health Care Committee. Developing and supporting strategies to address vaccine hesitancy. -AIDS Quilts Come to Wilmington (2019). Collaborated with UNCW, the Frank Harr Foundation and SEEDS of Healing to bring examples of the AIDS Quilts to Wilmington. I developed and delivered educational and training materials to over 135 community volunteers. I also hosted two community documentary film screenings (Thalian Hall and UNCW) and facilitated a panel discussion about stigma and access to resources. Black women are one of the fastest growing groups of HIV+ people in the South Eastern United States and this event helps increase education and decrease stigma around the disease. -The Frank Harr Foundation and SAGE invited me to act as a moderator and host of a racial equity training for their board. We watched the three-part documentary Race: Power of Illusion and discussed it over a three-week period. Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? Board of Commissioners - August 23, 2021 ITEM: 12- 3 - 14 My research, teaching, and community volunteering has centered around addressing gender -based challenges on a local, national, and international level and I feel that my skills and background could complement those already on the committee. I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve New Hanover County as a member of this board. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I am looking forward to supporting the initiatives currently underway by the committee. I would also be very interested in working with the committee to assess and address menstrual inequity as well as addressing particular needs of women following natural disasters (hurricanes etc) in New Hanover County. During a crisis, it becomes harder for people to manage their periods in a safe and dignified manner. Financial strain, job loss, and homelessness can all compound this challenge. In North Carolina, 20% of women and girls aged 12 to 44 and 25% of trans and non -binary people live below the federal poverty line, reducing access to menstrual hygiene products. Additionally, 63% of female students grades 7-12 in N.C. public schools attend Title I Eligible schools, meaning they are low-income and cannot afford basic menstrual hygiene products. In the United States, 1 in 5 women have reported missing school, work, or other responsibilities because they lack necessary period supplies - at a cost to both workers and employers. I would like to work with the committee to determine the magnitude of this challenge in New Hanover County and see how we can effect change. I see an important step of this to be working with the New Hanover County School Board to assess need and barriers to menstrual hygiene materials among our students and have initiated these conversations. Qualifications for serving: I have a deep-seated interest in serving as an At Large Member on the New Hanover County Commission for Women. My professional and volunteer experience makes me particularly qualified for this appointment. As a professional I have successfully served in multiple leadership positions. I recently completed a three-year term on the National Board of the Human Biology Executive Community as the Public Relations Chair. At UNCW I served as a Member of the UNCW Gender Studies Board, Faculty Senator for the Department of Anthropology, as a member of the Honors Advisory Committee and the Undergraduate Research Committee. I have sought out multiple leadership training opportunities. In addition, I have completed multiple racial and gender equity trainings and workshops to increase my knowledge surrounding the diversity of needs within our community. My research (detailed above) and professional training has focused heavily on women's health and barriers to resources (including following disasters like Hurricane Florence). It reflects my dedication to supporting women's diverse needs across their lifespan. My professional and volunteer work highlights my skills as a collaborative team player with effective research and personal skills. My international experience provides additional perspective on women's issues on an international, national, and local level.

Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? I love libraries. Against all odds, they survive in a hyper -digital, gig economy as places of wonder and invention. I'm a particular fan of the New Hanover system, since I have a nearly perfect track record finding books. Recently, that includes Nixon by Stephen Ambrose and Soul City by Thomas Healy. (Anyone care to guess at the overlap?) And the New Hanover Room continues to be a delight. If there's something I can do to give back and make it better, I'm on board — even if I'm not on the board. But it would be fun to be on it. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? The library can use a dose of updating when it comes to technological tools. Qualifications for serving: Forty years of experience in journalism, publishing and film. And you have all four of my books!

Volunteer Activities I have been involved with Girl Scouts for over 10 years, most of those as a Troop Leader.

Occasionally, we help pack boxes at Nourish NC, help with dog rescues and clean up our local beaches. Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? As a resident, parent and business owner in New Hanover County, I have a strong desire to see our community thrive. I believe that libraries play a very important role in any community, and will do whatever I can to give them my full support. I have been an avid fan of the library all my life. My mother is a retired teacher, so after school, I loved to help out in the school library. Growing up, I rode my bike to the weekly bookmobile, before we had a library in Wrightsville Beach. I remember spending hours in the reference room with my grandmother, researching our family genealogy. All my life, I have frequented libraries and have raised my girls to do the same (yes, teenagers who love the library!) We never miss a Friends of the Library book sale, and both of my parents have volunteered there for years. I cannot imagine a community without libraries, and I would love to be a part of their continuing success. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? I would like to see the committee continue to embrace the changes brought by technology. I believe that libraries can serve many purposes and fulfill many needs of the community.
