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: 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.
