Antarctic photo album
29 Sep 2023
During routine cataloguing in Leeds Central Library’s strongroom, special collections librarian Rhian Isaac (pictured) found what appeared to be an unassuming family photo album tucked away on a shelf. Despite its somewhat drab 1990s binding, inside she found an enthralling series of images documenting the mission of The Morning, a relief ship to Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s first expedition to the Antarctic between 1901-4.
