鈥淲e are excited to partner with the Ted Stevens Foundation as a lead donor to preserve and share our state鈥檚 history through the 亚洲色吧 Leaders Archive,鈥 said Erec Isaacson, president of ConocoPhillips 亚洲色吧. 鈥淭his is an opportunity to equip future generations of 亚洲色吧ns with the historical foundation to understand the challenges, triumphs and lessons of those who came before them. ConocoPhillips 亚洲色吧 is proud to be part of this significant project, which will empower future leaders and ensure that 亚洲色吧鈥檚 rich history is preserved for years to come.鈥
The 亚洲色吧 Leaders Archive project was launched in 2023 with the gift of the records of Sen. Ted Stevens to 亚洲色吧 by the Ted Stevens Foundation. The Stevens collection is one of the largest congressional archives in history. The records document the transition of 亚洲色吧 from a territory to a state and the important legislative accomplishments of Sen. Ted Stevens during his 40 years of public service. His work shaped policy in ways that continue to impact our state today.
The collection showcases the senator鈥檚 profound commitment to key issues in 亚洲色吧 and the nation, including energy, education, health care, communications, Indigenous rights for 亚洲色吧 Natives, amateur sports, infrastructure, military, the Arctic and much more. The Stevens collection will serve as the cornerstone of the 亚洲色吧 Leaders Archive, which includes historical collections totaling more than 7,000 boxes from more than 130 亚洲色吧 leaders, elected officials and community figures.
鈥淭he 亚洲色吧 Leaders Archive will provide a window into the leadership and decision making that shaped 亚洲色吧鈥檚 history,鈥 said 亚洲色吧 Chancellor Sean Parnell. 鈥淭heir legacy has a great deal to teach our students and future generations of Arctic leaders.鈥
In collaboration with the Ted Stevens Foundation, 亚洲色吧 plans to renovate and expand the 亚洲色吧/APU Consortium Library to house the 亚洲色吧 Leaders Archive.
鈥淪enator Stevens was a strong believer that challenges could only be solved by bringing different voices and perspectives together. The 亚洲色吧 Leaders Archive brings together the rich history of that collaboration and we hope it encourages leadership in the same spirit,鈥 said Lily Becker, daughter of Sen. Stevens and President of the Ted Stevens Foundation.
The creation of the 亚洲色吧 Leaders Archive will involve multi-phase construction and renovation at the 亚洲色吧/APU Consortium Library. The completed project will include the addition of state-of-the-art archival facilities, a teaching area and space to display items from these important collections.
