Scott Polar Research Institute:
The Herbert G. Ponting Archive of over 1,700 large-format glass plate negatives
taken during the British Antarctic (Terra Nova) Expedition, 1910-1913, is held
at the Scott Polar Research Institute in the University of Cambridge.
Founded in 1920 as the British national memorial to those who died during the
expedition, the Scott Polar Research Institute is the oldest international
centre for polar research. The Institute remains a centre of excellence in the
study of the Antarctic and Arctic, and houses the world’s premier polar library,
extensive archives on the history of polar exploration, and a museum with
displays of both the historical and contemporary scientific significance of the
polar regions.
