The William Smith Papers, dated from 1947-1971, contains publications, diaries and manuscripts concerning Operation Deep Freeze III in 1957, and International Geophysical Year (IGY) 1957-1958, including interviews with wintering personnel. The publications, which range from 1947-1971, appear to be research material for Smith's psychological studies on polar scientists. His interviews with International Geophysical Year staff and others in Antarctica took place between 1956-1960.
