Documents, maps, editorial comment, people, projects and Arctic energy issues are covered back to the discovery of Prudhoe Bay during the winter of 1967-68.
We cover both sides of the border: as producers calculated how to transport the Alaska North Slope oil south, they and their sister company producers in the Mackenzie Delta region of the Northern Yukon and the Northwest Territories were considering how best to move the vast reserves of Alaska and Canadian natural gas to their markets.
Our archives even cover the decade of the 50’s leading up to passage of the Alaska Statehood Act and subsequent federal actions which, decade-by-decade have steadily eroded the sovereignty of Alaska.
We hope that our industry, governmental, media and academic colleagues find our archives useful since all thoughtful researchers are well aware that, truly, “the past is prologue”. -dh
