SGER: Social Perspectives on the Industrial Archaeology of the Arctic

摘要：北极工业考古学的社会视角探索性研究的这一小笔赠款将支持一名调查员检查存储在密歇根州不同档案馆的北极煤炭公司（ACC）记录的三个集合。 ACC是世纪初在挪威斯瓦尔巴群岛建立采矿业务的公司之一。作为斯瓦尔巴特群岛工业化的早期努力之一，北极理事会参与了技术转让和国际社会组织的努力，为北方环境的自然资源开发留下了遗产。 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，这些记录可能使人们对斯瓦尔巴特群岛经验的国际性以及这种经验如何影响行政协调会的人员和组织有新的认识。 该项目是更大的IPY项目LASHIPA（极地地区大规模历史开发）的一部分，该项目包括一些国际跨学科团队，探索了解极地地区工业规模人类活动的方法。

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.
