Social Research Systems Co-op.
Social Research Systems Co-op. has been in business since 1980 as a
not-for-profit cooperative, providing social impact assessments and culture resource
management services for both the public and private sectors. I also teach at the
University level (anthropology and geography). With changing interests and a very
visible community need I have moved into two new areas:
E-book publishing of rare works or formerly unpublished manuscripts in Hawaiian
history and archaeology;
Support for Historic Preservation research in the PRC, Shaanxi Province.

About Dr. Richard Bordner and SRSC
Dr. Richard Bordner
I am currently faculty in the Behavioral Sciences Department at Chaminade
University of Honolulu, Honolulu, Hawai`i. I teach courses, mainly undergraduate, in
cultural anthropology, archaeology and geography. I have also been the Principal
Investigator for the Summer Archaeology Field School since the mid-1980's at
various locations in Hawai`i, mainly on the islands of Maui and Hawai`i.
By training I am an archaeologist and cultural geographer, with major interests in
ritual, symbolism and the perceptual landscape over time. My major regional
interests have been Polynesia, Melanesia and more recently, East Asia.
My background as a CRM archaeologist since the mid-1970's has given me a wide
range of experience both in archaeology and also in cultural preservation, including
a period of time at the Historic Hawai`i Foundation. From my dissertation contacts
my awareness of the need for the local population, especially those holding to
Hawaiian cultural values, to be able to get access to the print information about
Hawaii to assist them in holding onto and developing their cultural identity. As a
result of their kokua to me in the field, I have tried to return the kokua by collecting
and editing the Thrum and Reinecke (and eventually the Hudson) articles and
manuscripts so that they can have the distribution they need.
A new venture is as a partner in the Shaanxi Provincial Historic Preservation GIS
Development Project, in Shaanxi, China, under control of Vice-Director/Professor
Weilin Wang of the Shaanxi Archaeology Institute (the Provincial Historic
Preservation Division). This is a complex multi-partner consortium initially
developing an integrated GIS database of archaeological and historical resources in
Shaanxi Province for the Provincial Government. This GIS database will provide a
management tool for all archaeological and historical resources in the province.
Given the tremendous wealth of resources in Shaanxi province, the center of the
Chinese state for over 1000 years (as Xianyang, then Chang'an and later Xi`an)
and some of the most famous burial tumuli in the world, the need for a tool to assist
government agencies in protecting the heritage of the Chinese people is critical.
This project is the first step in the design and development of the GIS system. The
consortium members include: Shaanxi Provincial Archaeology Institute (the lead
partner); Northwest University; Chaminade University; and Arizona State's GAIA
Department (who will design and develop the actual GIS system). We currently
estimate that the first (trial) phase of the project, which began in 2006, will be
completed in 2011.
