This project is responsive to the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB) research priority in Human Dimensions category (“Human-ecosystem relationships”, “Local and traditional knowledge” subcategories). The project addresses the Human and Other Prominent Issues research themes of the NPRB’s Science Plan (2005:viii). The project examines the complex interrelationship between people and their environment as it relates to nearshore and shorefast sea ice and humans having to continually adapt responses to changes in ice conditions. Also addressed is how climate change is affecting the ecosystems, which in turn affects local people (NPRB 2005:25). This project tells the story of the changing Arctic through those who live within it daily. The metadata collected is in a Microsoft Excel Worksheet (.xlsx) and presented as a CSV file: NPRB-1521-interview-manifest.csv The metadata relates to required information and process completion for each interview recorded for this project. Metadata headings include: name of person recorded, recording number (UAF Oral History Program accession number), interview date, interviewer, language, transcript details, release agreement details, photo details, length of recording, recorded format, Inqscribe details, completion of table of contents (for website), biography details, added to website and further notes. Metadata is noted for nine interviewees plus one additional recording made during a field trip on the ice from Kotzebue to take scientific samples in March 2016. Metadata was first recorded in the Project Jukebox office in Fairbanks when interviews were conducted and then updated as processing of the materials continued.
