Title: Frederick A. Cook: A Digital Exhibition

URL: https://library.osu.edu/projects/frederick-cook/

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 Cook’s unpublished autobiographical manuscript1 provides much of the context for this exhibition.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.
