Various web organizations such as Communication Arts, CSS Design Awards, and awwwards have recognized the website for its design, UX, and UI.
Archaeologists with SEARCH and TRC Companies, Inc. were contracted by GAI Consultants to excavate 10 archaeological sites in the Permian Basin across modern-day New Mexico and Texas.
The results of the excavation and laboratory analyses helped answer research questions about the people who lived in the Permian Basin.
Together with Ground Media, SEARCH developed a website to share the research results as well as the stories from the past that can be interpreted from the findings. The website can be found here.
“As someone who has dedicated his career to bringing the past to life for a wide variety of audiences, the Permian Basin History website has been such a meaningful project. This has been a team effort that communicates SEARCH’s commitment to public outreach.”
