Zahn and Associatesto conduct the study. At the JanuaryHeritage Preservation Commission (HPC) meeting, commissionerswillprovide input forthe context study. BACKGROUND At the December 2013 HPC meeting, consultant Thomas Zahn explained the purpose of a historic context studyand provided a sample context study to givecommissioners anunderstanding ofthe type of product that will be created. A context study organizes history based on cultural themes and their geographical and chronological limits. Itis a framework for evaluating the relative significance of cultural resources. Rather than concentrating on individual properties, it focuses on broad themes that the city can use to organize and evaluate resources. The contexts established create a foundation for future preservation planning and projects. In December 2013, staff met with the consultants and Bob Jensen from Maplewood Area Historical Society. It was determined the next few months’ schedule will be: 1.JanuaryHPCmeeting – consultant will notattend; commissioners discuss research available and answer questionnaire. 2.February HPC meeting – consultant will attend; discussion will focus on identifying key historic themes in Maplewood and on identifying historic propertiesthat are not on the inventory. The public is encouraged to attendthis meeting. 3.March or April – consultant will attend meeting of MAHS. Commissioners and the public are encouraged to attend. The first stepin the context study is gathering information. The consultants will gatherinformation from Minnesota Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office, Maplewood Area Historical Society (MAHS), HPC commissioners, and other individualsand sources.At the January HPC meeting commissionerswill discuss whatinformation is availableand respond to questions provided by consultant. 1.Materials available from Maplewood Area Historical Society (MAHS). Mr. Jensen willexplain to commissioners whatis in MAHS archives and give a brief overview of the database they use to organize their archives. This will give commissioners a better understanding of the scope of information MAHS will be providingto the consultants. Mr. Jensen has created several lists that willbe useful in developing the context study: a.Recommended research materials (Attachment 1) b.List of DVD’s (Attachment 2) c. Places(Attachment 3) d.List of chronologies(Attachment 4) 6a e. Sample chronology(Attachment 5) 2.Maplewood Historic Properties Inventory.
