            The Edith "Jackie" Ronne Oral History, dated 2000-2001, contains audio recordings, administrative information, and transcripts of the interview between Ronne and Brian Shoemaker of the American Polar Society conducted on July 20, 2000. This interview was a part of a series of polar oral histories sponsored by the American Polar Society and Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program, with funding from the National Science Foundation. Major topics discussed include Ronne's status as the first woman to work on an Antarctic expedition, how she helped her husband Finn Ronne prepare for the trip, work and writing she did during her time in Antarctica from 1946-1948, her memories of the continent, and return trips to Antarctica throughout the rest of her life.

            The Shadow Box Created by Susan Starkey Commemorating Lois Jones' Antarctica Research Expedition in 1969-1970 contains five mounted items inside the frame: a photograph of the research team at the South Pole in 1969 or 1970; an envelope autographed by members of the first all-women South Pole expedition team with a 'Southern Victoria Land 1969-1970' cachet mailed to Susan Starkey in 1969; a photograph of an adelie penguin on Ross Island with a written holiday greeting created by Lois Jones in January 1970; and two rocks collected by Lois Jones during the South Pole research trip. The rocks are numbered to correspond with Jones' research notes: one is speckled black and white, and the other is triangular, flat, and dark gray with 'WV-3R' written on it. The shadow box was assembled circa 2000.
