The Byrd Antarctic Expedition I News is a newsletter for members of the first Byrd Antarctic Expedition (BAE I) created by Henry Harrison from 1974-1988. The newsletter mainly consists of messages from or about expedition members and photocopied press clippings related to BAE I and expedition members. Seventeen total issues of the newsletter are included in this collection, including some years where two issues were published during that year.

Volume 12 is not included, but it is not know whether that number was skipped during production of the newsletter, or whether this issue exists but is absent from the collection.

The Arnold Court Trunk Used During United States Antarctic Service Expedition, dated circa 1939, contains a wooden storage trunk that belonged to Arnold Court when he was a meteorologist for the U.S. Antarctic Service Expedition from 1939-1941. The trunk has the words U.S. Antarctic Service and West Base stenciled its sides.
