The Morton Rubin Papers contain a biography of Morton Rubin written by his brother Harry Rubin in 2004, as well as an appendix to that biography of a photocopy of Morton's diary from during the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958), and a copy of that appendix on compact disc. They also contain an audio recording and transcript of an oral history interview of Morton from a series of polar oral histories sponsored by the American Polar Society and Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program. In this oral history interview from July 21, 2000, Morton discusses his time in Antarctica as a meteorologist during the International Geophysical year, as well as his relations with Russian scientists also in Antarctica at the time.

The William J. Cromie Papers date from 2010-2012, and consist of digital image copies on compact disc of color slides originally photographed by Cromie in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958). A printed inventory of the slide descriptions is also included in the collection. The images depict Antarctic landscapes, wildlife, and fellow participants of the Ross Ice Shelf Traverse. The collection also contains typescripts by Cromie; two of them describe his time in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year, and the other describes his time working on Station Charlie in the Arctic Ocean.
