Preservation Work on Richardson Films Now Complete In 2003, the Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program (BPRCAP) received a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation to preserve two films from the Harrison H. Richardson Collection. Richardson was the meteorological observer on Byrd’s third expedition to Antarctica, the U.S. Antarctic Service Expedition, 1939-1941. The film is believed to be some of the first color footage shot in Antarctica.
