The Henry Brecher Papers, dated 1958-2007, contains photographic slides, photograph prints, notes, and reports documenting Henry Brecher's field work in Antarctica, Greenland, Canada, Peru, China and Tanzania. Captions are written on the slides. Brecher's diary and reports documents his work with Operation Deep Freeze V and the Victoria Land Traverse, which was the first American traverse to the South Pole from 1959-1960. Maps of mountains and regions in Antartica and digital reproductions of the slide images are included in this collection. Also included is an oral history interview on audiocassette of Brecher conducted in 1999 with a transcript; in it, he discusses how he became involved in Antarctic expeditions, as well as memories of the South Pole Traverse he participated in. Finally, the collection contains topographic maps and orthophotic maps of a landslide on Sherman Glacier, Alaska; Brecher plotted these maps for use by Cedomir Marangunic in his dissertation.
