This $394,186 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814) supports three main projects by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources:

  1. Digitizing and publicly releasing paper offshore oil and gas records owned by the Washington Geological Survey (WGS). This will make the records more accessible through a public-facing digital dataset.

  2. Adding and updating 6,000 geotechnical borehole records collected by WGS, and making this statewide subsurface database publicly available. This will enable engineers, geologists, and others to better understand subsurface conditions.

  3. Photographing and inventorying WGS's rock and fossil collection, with the metadata uploaded to a public web service.

The award period runs from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027. The intended beneficiaries include engineers, geologists, planners, homeowners, students, and the public.
