List of Climatological Records - National Archives
EV2 - List of Climatological Records - National Archives
State-by-state listing of weather records housed in the National Archives as of 1942. The original manuscript was published as one publication, but for ease of use was broken into and introduction document that summarizes early weather observation activities in the United States, and one file per state listing stations and period of record. The station listing gives the microfilm reels numbers on which the actual observations are stored in the National Archives. The images on these reels were also scanned, and are found in EV2 in the 'Forts' library. There are fifty .tif files, the introduction and one per state. Hawaii is not included.

Purpose | In the late 1990s NCDC realized the need to host digital images of weather and climate records on the internet. As a result, EV2 was developed as a key system for providing access to the millions of original source data images in the NCDC archives. With its upload and index capability, EV2 also enables the continuation of NCDC's commitment to make more of its weather and climate data available online so that users across the world can view climate and weather records held in the NCDC archives. |
