Historic Polar Images, 1845-1982 from the Scott Polar Research Institute
http://www.freezeframe.ac.uk
The Scott Polar Research Institute in the University of Cambridge holds a world-class collection of photographic negatives illustrating polar exploration from the nineteenth century onwards. Freeze Frame, launched March 4, 2009, is the result of a two-year digitisation project that brings together over 20,000 of these photographs from both Arctic and Antarctic expeditions and makes these photographs accessible online. Here you can discover the polar regions through the eyes of those explorers and scientists who dared to go into the last great wildernesses on earth.
Detailed catalogue entries are provided for each image. All image captions are taken from original sources, where known. In digitising this resource the Scott Polar Research Institute has enabled browsing through the collection by date, expedition or photographer, or searching the content directly.
The Freeze Frame project is funded as part of the JISC Digitisation programme and is hosted by the University of Cambridge in collaboration with DSpace@Cambridge. All images on the website are also available to purchase. For more information, please visit the website or contact enquiries@freezeframe.ac.uk.
