The Barney Bradley Papers date from 2009. While serving on Byrd Antarctic Expedition II in 1933-1934, Barney Bradley kept a diary, took photographs, and collected newspaper clippings and a crew roster from the expedition. In 2009, Bradley's son Michael made reproductions of these items, including photocopies of the newspaper clippings and crew roster, reprints of photographs, and a typed transcript of the original diary. These reproductions were donated to the Polar Archives by Michael, and make up the Barney Bradley Papers; the Bradley family kept the original 1933-1934 items in their possession.

The Russell S. Robinson Collection consists of materials related to Robinson; the original materials were collected by Peggy Royall, a friend of Robinson's during his youth. The original materials were photocopied in 2011 and annotated by the donor (Royall's daughter) prior to donation; this collection consists solely of these photocopies, with no original materials. The photocopies consist of clippings about Robinson's time on Byrd Antarctic Expedition II, school programs, and a holiday card sent to Royall while Robinson was in Antarctica; the original items dated from 1923 to 1933.
