The collection contains correspondence, documents, articles, speeches, clippings, photographs, logs, and other material dealing mostly with the "Morrissey" years. Bartlett was in contact with prominent explorers, journalists, museum curators, naval officers and industrial figures, among them: Richard Evelyn Byrd, Frank Michler Chapman, Colby Mitchell Chester, Samuel Bayard Colgate, Eugene DuPont, Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, Melville Bell Grosvenor, Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor, George Palmer Putnam, Marie Peary Stafford, Vilhjamur Stefansson, Arthur Hays Sulzberger, Lowell Thomas and Russell Randolph Waesche.

Only the following individuals are represented by 25 or more letters: Robert Rudolph Morgan Carpenter, Vice President of DuPont; William Herbert Hobbs, geologist at the University of Michigan; John K. Howard of Boston; Arthur James Manice and David Clark Nutt, who traveled on the "Morrissey"; Waldo L.
