Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Salem is seeking a historian and graphic designer team to prepare an update of historic interpretive sign panels located in Salem's neighborhoods and to develop new historic signage in those neighborhoods where there are none. First implemented in the 1970s, the panels are an important way for the City to reinforce that all of Salem's older neighborhoods have wonderful histories, interesting buildings, and great value to residents' quality of life and to the City's economic and cultural vitality. The interpretive panel update will increase knowledge and understanding of the history of Salem and promote a sense of pride and connection to the community. Neighborhoods listed as districts in the National Register of Historic Places or designated as City of Salem local historic districts will be given first preference for updated/new signage. A template for the interpretive panels has been developed as part of previous signage projects. The historic interpretive panel design and layout must comply with a Pannier Low Profile Exhibit Base with 36"w X 24"h panel size and 34 7/8" X 22 7/8" visual area.
