Complete Historic Resource Study Titled “Seward Lot Histories: Windows through Time, 1903-1990s

The objective of this Agreement is to prepare a ready-for-print publication by researching, writing and completing the draft National Park Service (NPS) report, “Seward Lot Histories: Windows through Time, 1903-1990s” which has been delayed for a number of years due to lack of staffing and expertise. This historical narrative will highlight stories of property owners and their involvement in, and contributions to the community of Seward. The project will include selecting approximately 100 photographs of the most evocative historic images of Seward, Alaska and writing highly descriptive annotations for telling the story of human activity for each Seward lot from approximately 1903 – 2010s. The final product will consist of a professional graphic design layout, in InDesign format, book (approximately 100-200 double-sided pages) ready for print in color. The project addresses the public purpose in several ways. It will increase the basic knowledge and understanding of the contributions and achievements of individual Seward residents to the development of an early 20th century Alaska frontier town. The project furthers the joint NPS and RBHS missions to preserve, interpret, and make shared history available to the public. The book will be made available to local schools, libraries, museums, and tribes.
