News

The Glacier Photograph Collection is in a constant state of updates. The latest is a new special collection of glacier survey reports from Rocky Mountain National Park completed between 1932 and 1952. Some of the earlier reports were only recently discovered in the library and will be added as soon as they are returned from the contractor. Check out the new collection of PDF files of the complete reports as well as the individual photographs from the reports: http://nsidc.org/data/glacier_photo/glacier_reports.html

The next batch of glacier photographs will be a batch of IGY photos taken by Bill Field and his team between 1957 and 1959. Some of these photos were previously added to the collection and can be located in the database by using the date range as the search criteria. Also see the DAHLI page for more about these images. http://nsidc.org/dahli/igyglacierphotos.html This page is also where the updates will be posted.
