Art Beat Art, books and history in Edmonds

The Edmonds Historical Museum has launched a "Sponsor an Artifact" campaign, inviting community support for the transport and preservation of its extensive collection. After relocating to a climate-controlled facility, the museum seeks donations to enhance care for over 30,000 historical documents and artifacts that reflect the area’s past. Contributions will cover costs for archival-grade materials, shelving, and trained staff dedicated to artifact care. The program offers multiple sponsorship options, allowing donors to support individual items or entire collections. All sponsors will receive recognition in museum materials and updates on the collection’s progress.

Higher-tier donors can also enjoy exclusive perks, such as behind-the-scenes tours. This initiative not only aims to preserve local history but also fosters community involvement in cultural heritage. The museum’s efforts signify a pivotal step toward ensuring the longevity and accessibility of Edmonds' historical narrative.
