Acknowledgments

The Harriman Alaska Expedition Retraced would not have been possible without the critical partnership of the Alumnae Association of Smith College, which contributed financial, technical and logistical support.

Zegrahm Expeditions translated Harriman's 1899 itinerary into the contemporary expedition route, and provided the necessary maritime expertise for this thirty-day voyage.

The project team is deeply indebted to Phoebe A. Wood, formerly Vice President for Finance, Planning and Control of ARCO Alaska, Inc., who provided logistical and financial support, as well as a base of operations in Anchorage, Alaska. We remain grateful to Philips Alaska, Inc., which has assumed ARCO's Alaskan interests.

The Alaska Geographic Alliance, with the support of the Alaska Science & Technology Foundation, helped develop the project's educational mission and focus.

The Harriman Retraced web site was created by our colleagues at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Ocean Service, Special Projects Office.

The Clipper Cruise Lines have provided logistical support and a satellite connection for onboard programs. Their vessel, the M/V Clipper Odyssey, will transport the Saanya Kwan objects during the repatriation program at Cape Fox.

Many agencies and organizations have provided expertise and assistance to Harriman Retraced, including the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, Cape Fox Corporation, and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian, National Museum of Natural History, and Arctic Studies Center.
