Art Beat Art, books and history in Edmonds

The Edmonds Historical Museum has launched a “Sponsor an Artifact” campaign to enhance the preservation of its extensive historical collection. Following a recent move to a climate-controlled facility, the museum aims to improve the care and accessibility of over 30,000 artifacts that document the history of the Edmonds area. Donations will support costs for transportation, archival materials, shelving, and the hiring of trained staff. The museum’s initiative reflects a commitment to preserving local history for future generations. Contributors will receive recognition in museum publications and updates on the collection's relocation.

Notably, higher-tier donors may enjoy exclusive experiences such as behind-the-scenes tours or personal photos with their sponsored artifacts. This effort not only safeguards history but also engages the community in its preservation. The campaign emphasizes the importance of local history and encourages community involvement.
