The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $240,000 project grant under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814) to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the "Alaska BLM Data Rescue Project". Under this 3-year grant, DNR will digitize and catalog over 30 pallets of historical oil and gas data records from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), including seismic surveys, maps, scientific analyses, and data from older computer mainframe tapes. The project will make this valuable geological information publicly accessible by uploading the digitized documents and metadata to external-facing servers. This will benefit a wide range of users, including oil and gas researchers, geological scholars, and federal research archives. The grant will fund technical personnel to complete the digitization and data migration, as well as the purchase of older computer equipment needed to facilitate the data transfer to modern systems.
