A People's Archive of Sinking and Melting

While many websites provide information about the science of climate change, A People's Archive of Sinking and Melting provides a unique perspective on the cultural, social, and personal impacts of the rising sea levels that will likely accompany the warming of the globe. Here readers will find a "collection of materials contributed by people living in places that may disappear because of the combined physical, political, and economic impacts" of the climate crisis. To view the archive, readers will want to select Visit the Archive Online, where they will find an array of objects - anything from a rusted steel wire from Denmark to a shard of brick from Cuba. The site is beautifully curated, providing the seemingly random objects with a clear and harrowing narrative. Importantly, interested visitors are encouraged to contribute their own objects to the archive. Directions can be found on the landing page.
