Description: November 29, 2004 marked the 75th Anniversary of Richard E. Byrd's historical flight over the South Pole. This was the first time that flight over the Pole had been attempted, and up to this point in time, only two parties had ever reached the South Pole and only one survived the trip back. Nevertheless, Byrd was buoyed from his successes of the North Pole Flight in 1926 and his Transatlantic Flight in 1927. Antarctica was the next logical achievement. This was to be the largest and the costliest expedition in the history of the exploration of Antarctica to that time, with costs ultimately reaching more than 1 million dollars. This web exhibit documents that historic flight. NOTE: any issues with site navigation/missing graphics existed in the pre-Archive-It captured site.

Description: This web exhibit documented an onsite exhibit (15 September 2000 – 15 December 2000) that was comprised of two distinctive components: the collages on the east wall of the Sills Gallery and the items contained in the horizontal and vertical display cases. The collages, which were on temporary loan to The Ohio State University, are the creations of Rik van Glintenkamp, a photographer and film producer who has been a student and enthusiast of polar exploration for many years. The cases in the gallery contained documents and artifacts from polar collections owned by The Ohio State University, as well as documentation of Ohio State's connection with Antarctica.

Description: This website contains the exhibit Frederick A. Cook: A Digital Exhibition, which highlighted the rich documentation, contained within the Frederick A. Cook Society Collection. A prolific photographer and writer, featured materials include images from Dr. Cook’s many polar expeditions, his extensive travels during the period of 1915-1916, as well as his writings. Also included are newspaper clippings and other documentation of his life. Dr. Cook’s unpublished autobiographical manuscript1 provides much of the context for this exhibition. Rather than a straight chronology of Cook’s life, the autobiography is interwoven with Cook’s philosophical thoughts on many subjects, including the workings of the human mind, what motivates people, spirituality, and other deeply complex ideas.

Description: A web exhibit depicting the artwork of David Abbey Paige, a successful New York City artist, who was intensely interested in the depiction of nature, having received several commissions to paint nature-based murals. He accompanied Admiral Richard E. Byrd on his second expedition to Antarctica, 1933-1935. Records indicate that Paige completed “100 pastels of various sizes; about 300 pencil drawings of aurura australis, and eight portraits in charcoal of the men as they appeared through the Winter Night, with their picturesque beards.” Eventually, Paige became a scenic artist for the motion picture industry in California. The acquisition of the Papers of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, by The Ohio State University in 1985, included 60 of the 100 pastel drawings that David Paige completed on Byrd’s second expedition to Antarctica. NOTE: any issues with site navigation existed in the pre-Archive-It captured site.
