We are primarily a volunteer organization, but lack someone to manage the administrative tasks that are so critical for running an organization. When someone volunteers, becomes a member, or makes a donation, they need to be entered into a database. The form or money needs to get into the right hands. Acknowledgement needs to be sent out to them (e.g., membership cards and thank you letters). Newsletters need to go out not just electronically, but also through paper mail. For our major efforts, such as the Edmonds Summer Market and the Docents needed for the Market, someone needs to be able to encourage the volunteers to sign up for time slots. It would be great to have someone figuring out innovative ways to continue to grow our volunteer pool. We are planning a major capital campaign, and it would be wonderful to have someone help us review old donations to create our prospects list, and help track how we are developing those contacts. Those are examples of potential activities. We are listing this in person since we want someone living in the Snohomish County area who we can meet with when necessary, since some tasks like newsletter preparation, etc. are physical.

About Edmonds Historical Museum

Location:

PO BOX 52, 118 5th Ave. North, EDMONDS, WA 98020, US

Mission Statement

We are dedicated to sharing the history of our community. We will achieve this by research, collection and preservation of historical documents, artifacts, memories and events, and by utilizing interpretive displays and engaging in creative public educational programming.

Description

The Edmonds Historical Museum has two floors. The upper floor features an exhibit gallery which offers temporary rotating displays, a diorama depicting the 1910 Edmonds town site and waterfront, and the Cook Victorian Parlor. The upper level also houses the administrative offices, work room, a local history library and an extensive photography archive. The public is encouraged to use the research library, with an advance appointment.

The ground floor consists of the long-term exhibit conceived to commemorate the centennial of the incorporation of the City of Edmonds 1890/1990. "The Changing Face of Edmonds" is an encapsulated, thematic, and chronological history exhibit, interpreting the many changes that have taken place, from the age of exploration and discovery, through the founding and growth of the city, and up to the 1950s when the last mill closed. Highlights of the exhibit include a reconstruction of a room from the 1894 Stevens Hotel, and a working model of a shingle mill, representative of the mills that filled the waterfront at the turn of the century.
