Roosevelt (folders 1 and 24), portraits of Peary, his wife Josephine and daughter Marie (folders 18 to 20), portraits of Peary's associate Matthew Henson (folder 29), and views of ice conditions in the polar region (folder 11). Other photographs of interest in this series include views of the S.S. Roosevelt in 1940, rotting away in the Panama Canal Zone (folder 24), views of cairns and grave sites in the polar region (folder 4), Eskimos (Inuit) and sled dogs (folders 6 to 8), views of the American flag planted at the North Pole (folder 17), and the Peary Memorial at Cape York, Greenland (folder 21). Many of the photographs are captioned.

Josephine Diebitsch Peary Collection, 1861-2003

Title: Josephine Diebitsch Peary Collection, 1861-2003

The collection consists of a large variety of historic items including four important scrapbooks compiled by Rear Admiral and Mrs. Peary's daughter, Marie Peary Stafford, which place in chronological order, papers and photographs telling the story of their lives, the majority of the contents focusing on Josephine Peary. As in the scrapbooks, the collection contains letters of correspondence between Josephine and Robert as early as 1884 through 1910, publication and speech manuscripts, early personal and historic photographs of all family members, travel diaries, newspaper and magazine articles, ephemera, and much biographical information. Items of interest among the artifacts from the Pearys' lives and travel are pieces of personal and household silver, textiles, some which relate to the family's Arctic experience, and a shotgun belonging to Admiral Peary to name a few. The four scrapbooks focus on the lives of Robert and Josephine Peary, the first one beginning with photographs as early as 1861 and concluding with the fourth scrapbook as a memorial to Mrs. Peary after her death in 1955. Throughout the scrapbooks, clippings, diary entries written by Josephine, photographs, ephemera and a large amount of correspondence to and from Josephine Peary document the family's remarkable achievements and network of contacts such as the National Geographic Society. There is also material relating to the books published by Mrs. Peary about the family's life while in the Arctic, momentoes, both personal and professional, historic correspondence including Peary's letter to her husband relating news of their daughter, Francine's, death, documentation of a tourmaline necklace, and citations from National Geographic.
