Arctic Stories (http://www.arcticstories.net/index.html) is a website with video storytelling of voices from the Arctic and scientists who study it developed by Peter Lourie, Paul and Jody Shepson with a grant from the National Science Foundation because of their passionate concern about climate change. Interviews are grouped by themes: sea ice, science, wildlife, Arctic life, climate, and people.

The Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA) facilitates the collection, preservation, exchange, and use of local observations and knowledge of  the Arctic. ELOKA provides data management and user support, and fosters collaboration between resident Arctic experts and visiting researchers. ELOKA was launched during the 2007-2009 International Polar Year. The purpose of ELOKA is to provide data management services and support to Arctic communities and others who are working with local and traditional knowledge (LTK) or who are gathering community-based monitoring data and information.
