This interview was a part of a series of polar oral histories sponsored by American Polar Society and Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program, with funding from the National Science Foundation. Major topics discussed include what led to Dr. Cameron to pursue a career in glaciology, his experiences in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958), his research studying the properties of glaciers, ice, and snow in Antarctica, earning his Doctorate at The Ohio State University and the different positions he had there, his experiences during the South Pole-Queen Maud Land Traverse (1964-1965) in Antarctica, and the different roles he had at the National Science Foundation.

The Stephen L.

This interview was a part of a series of polar oral histories sponsored by American Polar Society and Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program, with funding from the National Science Foundation. Major topics that DenHartog discussed include going to Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958), his experiences during the Ross Ice Shelf Traverse and the Victoria Land Traverse, the story of how Albert (Bert) Crary needed to be rescued after the piece of ice that he was working on split off into the water, spending the winter at Little America V, working at the second Arctic Research Laboratory Ice Station (ARLIS II), which was a station installed on a floating ice island off the coast of Point Barrow, Alaska, working for the University of Wisconsin Geophysical and Polar Research Center in Alaska and Antarctica, and working aboard the SS Manhattan in the Northwest Passage.

The Troy L. Péwé Papers, dated 1958-1961, 1990, 1999, consist of journal articles and a letter Péwé sent to Brian Shoemaker, the president of the American Polar Society. The journal articles written by Péwé feature his research into glacier formation and movement in Antarctica and Alaska. This collection also includes a letter Péwé sent to Brian Shoemaker in response to Shoemaker's request for Péwé to give an oral history interview sponsored by the American Polar Society and Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program, however, Péwé passed away before the interview occurred. The letter contains information about Péwé’s work as a glacial geologist in the polar regions.
