The collection consists of letters, a newspaper and clippings, and over 400 photographs concerning the production of the film "Eskimo," directed by W.S. Van Dyke. The letters, which he sent home to his family, were written from July 1932 to August 1933 during the production of the film. They were published in a Coos Bay, Oregon, newspaper. The newspaper and clippings consist of a copy of the M-G-M Eskimo News, published by the film crew of "Eskimo" at Teller in December 1932, and newspaper clippings of articles concerning the film's production (ca. 1933) and the career of the native actor Ray Wise Mala (1983). The photographs consist of images taken on location during the production work. Alaska locations include Nome, Teller, Point Hope, Cape Lisburne, Kivalina, King Island, Prince William Sound, and the Inside Passage. Other locations include the waters off Herald Island near Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean, and the waters off Cape Serdsti on the Chukotsk Peninsula. The photographs depict the film crew, cast, housing, and sets, the hunting of walrus, polar bear, and whale, coastal glaciers in Alaska, and the ship, Namuk, which was used in the film.
