Additional Contributors and Acknowledgments

In truth, a project of this size can only be understood as a joint and developing product of numerous contributors.  Foremost among these contributors are the benefactors and library and information technology staffs of the University of Virginia.  These individuals, although indirect participants in this Project, are immediately responsible for creating and maintaining an environment that simultaneously makes possible the promotion of scholarly traditions, innovative research, and public education.

Technical and financial support for this project have generously been provided by the staffs and benefactors of the Geospatial and Statistical Data Center (GEOSTAT), Center for Politics, Department of Politics at the University of Virginia.  Special recognition also is due to several individuals who made the timely completion of this Project possible.  Mike Furlough, Christina Deane, Donna Tolson, Adam Soroka, Jean McSween, Holly Hom, and Chris Gist of the GEOSTAT Center and Peter Welch of Alderman Library assisted with the production and web delivery of the Project's summary statistics; they also created and aided the web-based data entry processes employed during several phases of this Project. Herman Schwartz of the Department of Politics, and Larry Sabato, Director of the Center for Politics, provided critical research assistance and financial support required to complete the present version of the Project.

 

Two additional sets of individuals also deserve public recognition for their contributions. Seyit Avcu, Dana Coelho, Joseph Harder, John Larkin, Gregg Lindskog, and Yasar Sari were able, eager and responsible research assistants without whom this Project could not have been completed. The second set of individuals consists of the equally capable University of Virginia students who have invested their time and coordinated their efforts to complete the much of the data entry required by this Project. They have made a lasting contribution to the University of Virginia and the State of Virginia, and for that they deserve both public recognition and this more direct and permanent acknowledgment of their work:
