The ARLIS collection of Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project reports is now available in digital format on the ARLIS document server. Indexes to the collection, with links to full text reports, are at www.arlis.org/resources/susitna-watana/.
A guide to uncataloged collections at ARLIS is now available for download. ARLIS is the “mother lode of Alaska Resources Information”, but not all of the materials in the library have been cataloged, due to limited funding and staff time. The collections described in this guide are available for use with finding aids and assistance from the ARLIS staff.
These video tapes comprise raw footage of the early days of the oil spill, its subsequent clean-up, shoreline evaluations, and many other government-led activities related to the spill. This footage may be copied without infringing on copyright and is in great demand internationally by filmmakers and researchers. About half of these videos have been cataloged and there is an index to the entire collection available at SPEC COLL GC1552.P75A37 1989, DVD GC1552.P75A37, and on the
ARLIS website . Most of the videos have been digitized in high resolution AVI format. Because most of the digitized videos are too large to fit on a single DVD, the most efficient way to deliver the videos is on external hard disk. Contact the ARLIS reference desk for more information.
