Other organizations
Relationships with other organizations are an important
concern. There
are other organizations active in the areas of skills
preservation and
documentation, industrial archeology, railroad history and
maritime
history with which our Chapter may want to establish
relationships. Our
chapter should reach out to other organizations which will
be mutually
beneficial.
Knight Foundry
The issue of defining the Chapter's relationship be
with the Knight
Foundry generated more heat than any other. (See the
article elsewhere in
the newsletter.)A large
number of the current members of the Chapter
became members partly from their very active participation
in trying to
preserve the Knight Foundry as an active site. An
important question is
whether we should we a become a new "Friends of the Knight
Foundry",
or help establish another organization. Concern was
expressed that the
effort to save the Foundry might overshadow other Chapter
projects.
Among the roles in which our Chapter might play with
respect to the
Knight Foundry are:
* Marketing task force - to help sell the services of the
Foundry to
help save it
as an active site.
* Facilitator
* Skills
documentation
* Pilot
project - from which we will learn how to preserve an active
site.
