[MassHistPres] Medford HC Seeking Members

[Rhayw12345 at aol.com]

Hi all -
 
I am forwarding this on behalf of the Medford  Historical Commission, who 
is seeking new members to serve on our board. We are  particularly interested 
in an architectural historian, but others  welcome to apply as well. Living 
in Medford is preferred, but not a requirement  (our City Solicitor has 
given us the ok given we are looking for a particular  skill set). 
 
Please give me a shout if you have any  questions!
 
Cheers,
 
Ryan Hayward
Medford Historical Commission
 
 
 
Medford Historical  Commission Call for Letters of Interest 

The Medford Historical  Commission seeks qualified individuals within the 
Medford community to serve on  our board. 
The Medford Historical  Commission, along with the Medford Historic 
District Commission, is entrusted  with the preservation and protection of the City’
s historic character and  heritage. 
The Commission was  established under Section 8d of Chapter 40 of the 
Massachusetts General Laws and  Chapter 48 of the Medford Municipal Ordinances. 
The Commission is the official  City body charged with the identification of 
properties and sites of historical  significance and is the principal 
advisor to the City on matters relating to  historic preservation. The Commission 
reviews all requests for the demolition of  buildings constructed before 
1900 or listed on the National and Massachusetts  Registers of Historic Places, 
in accordance with the City’s demolition delay  ordinance. The board holds 
regular monthly meetings and occasional special  hearings at City Hall, 
conducts site visits as necessary, oversees historic  property surveys and 
grants, and engages with Medford property owners on issues  of preservation.  
Applicants should have  interest, knowledge, and experience in fields 
related to architectural history,  historic preservation, and/or Medford history. 
Applicants should contact the  Commission by submitting a letter of 
interest outlining their qualifications.  Please include name and contact 
information, as well as relevant supporting  material. Candidates may be contacted 
for an interview. The Commission shall  then present a list of nominees to the 
Mayor for final selection and  appointment. Those selected to serve on the 
board volunteer for three-year terms  as Special Employees of the City.
