Abstract: Nearly 99% of American archives will be impacted by at least one climate risk. It is well established that North Carolina is at high risk for all varieties of flooding: pluvial, fluvial, and coastal. Disaster flooding related to climate change poses grave danger to all infrastructure, including archival repositories. However, little research to date has adequately addressed this unique risk. Based on a survey that contacted North Carolina’s most flood-vulnerable repositories, this paper endeavors to assess the state’s repositories’ preparedness for flooding.
