  • SAMPLE Grantapplication 201
    SAMPLE Existence and Location of Originals: gathering and documenting archival repository location data We request $5000 to hire a paid research assistant for between 300-400 hours of work, overseen by Ben Goldman (grant PI) and Eira Tansey (grant collaborator). This project will identify, gather, standardize, and make publicly accessible United States archival repository location data. Our desire for improved location data grew out of an ongoing research project to identify which American archival repositories are most vulnerable to the future impacts of climate change. Working with geospatial specialists at Penn State, we are intersecting geolocation data harvested from OCLC’s ArchiveGrid with climate models for sea level rise, storm surge, temperature rise, and increased precipitation. Our initial findings, presented at the Society of American Archivists’ Research Forum in 20161 , found that 33 coastal repositories may be at risk of between one and six feet of sea level rise, a number we now believe to be inaccurately low due to insufficient repository location data. OCLC’s ArchiveGrid data appears to be the best available data on archival locations, but it has many shortcomings. We believe the data represents but a fraction of known archival repositories (excluding, for example, many small and community archives simply because they do not send their finding aids to ArchiveGrid). Quality assessment of the data has also revealed it to be imprecise or inaccurate for many repositories, and lacking information about physical locations (e.g. placement within a building, or coordinates of annex locations) that make assessing the impacts of climate change related weather events difficult to quantify.
