The Polar Archives is related to the Goldthwait library at BPRC. It differentiates because Goldthwait has more books. PA has more letters, records and photographs. Today I got to view letters from Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin Rooselvelt, John D. Rockefeller, J. Edgar Hoover, Harry Truman, Woodrow Wilson and Amelia Earhart to Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd. The originals.
Not to mention I got to read Admiral Byrd's expedition diary.
I would show pictures but I cannot post them online as by law.

It's really great that you got to read these authentic documents. You also now have a better idea of how they must be maintained, and the importance of keeping good records.
I'm glad you had a good introduction to the Archives!
