The Hollis and Wayne H. Richardson Family Papers, dated circa 1932-1954, and 2000-2002, contains a scrapbook that document Hollis Richardson’s work and accomplishments as a sled dog racer and, later, as a sled dog trainer during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition from 1939-1940. From circa 1932-1954, Hollis Richardson assembled the scrapbook with photographs, newspaper clippings, correspondence addressed to his mother during the expedition and World War II, a certificate, and an address list. Some of the clippings in the scrapbook are photocopies of the original. The first half of the scrapbook focuses on Richardson and his wife Velma's dog kennel at Pocono Manor, Pennsylvania, and Richardson's sled dog racing career in Northeastern United States during the 1930s. The second half focuses on Richardson's participation in the United States Antarctic Service Expedition. The scrapbook additionally includes some clippings of Velma's illness during the expedition, Richardson's brother's linen business, and a family portrait of three generations of the Richardson family. The collection also contains supplemental materials gathered by Hollis' son, Wayne H. Richardson, that relate to his father, and the topics of the original scrapbook, such as dog sledding. These supplemental materials include Wayne's notes and page descriptions of the scrapbook, newspaper articles, and photocopies of United States Antarctic Expedition photographs from the National Archives.
