Harriman recollected: 1899 voyage to Alaska digital collection

A new digital collection from Penn State University. 
The Harriman Alaska Expedition of 1899 was a scientific expedition along the coast of Alaska undertaken by famous North American naturalists.
The library has transcribed the diaries of the Chaplain Nelson’s diary and researched the geographic and tribal origins of indigenous art works which they acquired, reinterpreting them by considering colonial pasts.
The website contains sections of diaries and details of the project with consideration of how to examine and read ‘difficult topics’ relating to colonial history.
