SGER: Social Perspectives on the Industrial Archaeology of the Arctic

这笔探索性研究的小额赠款将支持一名调查人员检查存储在密歇根州不同档案馆中的北极煤炭公司(ACC)的三份记录。ACC是20世纪初在挪威斯瓦尔巴德岛建立采矿业务的公司之一。作为斯瓦尔巴群岛工业化的早期努力之一，行政协调会参与了技术转让和国际社会组织努力，这些努力在北方环境的自然资源开发方面留下了遗产。这位研究人员正在寻找材料，这些材料将为ACC在北极环境中的技术和组织适应和创新提供新的见解。此外，这些记录可能会对斯瓦尔巴群岛经历的国际性以及它如何影响行政协调会的人员和组织提供新的见解。该项目是一个更大的国际极地年项目LASHIPA(极地地区的大规模历史开发)的一部分，该项目包括一些国际跨学科小组，他们探索了解极地地区工业规模的人类活动的方法。

ABSTRACTSGER: Social perspectives on the Industrial Archaeology of the ArcticThis Small Grant for Exploratory Research will support an investigator to examine three collections from the Arctic Coal Company (ACC)records stored in separate archives located in Michigan. ACC was one of the early 20th century companies that set up mining operations on Svalbard Island, Norway. As one of the early efforts of industrialization of Svalbard, the ACC participated in technology transfers and international social organizational efforts that have left a legacy on natural resource development in northern environments. The researcher is looking for materials that will give new insights into the ACC's technological and organizational adaptation and innovation in the Arctic environment. In addition, the records may give new insights into the internationalism of the Svalbard experience and how that affected ACC personnel and organization. This project is part of a much larger IPY project, LASHIPA (LArge Scale HIstoric exploitation of Polar Areas), that includes a number of international interdisciplinary teams exploring approached to understand industrial-scale human activities in Polar Regions.
