The Institute of Polar Studies Cachet Rubber Stamp and Exhibit Materials contain a rubber stamp printed with a cachet used by glaciologists from the Institute of Polar Studies at Ohio State University on their mailing envelopes during the 1983-1984 field season in Antarctica. The stamp cachet reads "OSU Institute of Polar Studies," "U.S.A.R.P" (United States Antarctic Program), "83-84 Expedition," and "Ice Streams in West Antarctica," the latter of which was the topic of study on the expedition. The collection also contains an exhibit label describing the stamp's history and the expedition, and an envelope stamped with the cachet for display purposes. The items were used together in the 2015 Ohio State University Thompson Library exhibition, "Mysteries in Ice."

The Dr. George Doumani Papers, dated 1957-1963, 2001-2002, contain rubber stamps, a stamped envelope and order form, and a stamp plate. Doumani ordered these materials when he was an employee at the Ohio State University (OSU) Institute of Polar Studies. The stamps feature the Antarctic expeditions Doumani attended through the Institute of Polar Studies: The Mount Weaver Expedition and the Antarctic Geological Expedition. A stamp for the International Geophysical Year, 1957-1958 is also included. This collection also includes an oral history interview on audiocassette. In the oral history interview, he discussed fossil discovery in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year and his work with the Institute of Polar Studies.
