MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF DUBLIN (DUBLIN)
AND
PARKS RESERVE FORCES TRAINING AREA (PRFTA)
FOR
A JOINT HISTORY CENTER
W81 WYN-16-319
This is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Dublin (hereinafter
referred to as "Dublin") and Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (hereafter "PRFTA");
also referred to as "the Parties".
1. BACKGROUND: In 2011, PRFTA placed its collection of historical artifacts in the
care of the City of Dublin as a permanent loan on a non-compensable basis. Since that
time, the City has inventoried and curated the objects, and is currently storing the
collection in the City Library. There is significant interest in being able to view and study
these items at PRFTA; which will allow Soldiers and the public to view and research
these items in a secure, climate controlled environment. Designating a display area for
this collection in the PRFTA Visitor Control Center permits these items to be stored,
viewed, and researched. The purpose of the Dublin Camp Parks Military History Center
is to interpret, display, study, document, collect, and preserve Dublin and Parks
Reserve Forces Training Area's shared history in order to foster understanding of our
communities' impact on the region and the world.
2. PURPOSE: The intended use of the building includes an artifact storage room,
exhibit space, and a large conference room that would be made available to Dublin as
well as community groups at the discretion of PRFTA Garrison Commander. PRFTA
designates 2,035 square foot portion of Bldg. 275, hereafter "the facility", as the
"Dublin—Camp Parks Military History Center" to display a portion of the collection of
artifacts on loan to Dublin. That portion of the building would be open to the public. It is
the intent that all display cases, fixtures, special lighting, and exhibits will be portable
and removable in nature so as to accommodate a future, albeit unlikely, change in use
for the space (see attachment A "Design Packet"). The conference room would be
made available for use by Dublin upon request to and approval by the Garrison
Commander, PRFTA. These areas may also be made available to local community
groups by request/approval. The Garrison Commander has the discretion to approve or
deny all requests.
