Series consists of letters, 1849-1892, written to Colonel John Barrow (1808-1898) by officers of all ranks, and civilians, who took part in the various Arctic expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin, and also by Lady Franklin and a few others. Although most of the letters were written during Colonel Barrow's official connection with the Admiralty, they were all addressed to him in his private capacity and many contain confidential material. With many of the authors, especially Sherard Osborn, Colonel Barrow maintained an intimate correspondence long after the writers had ceased to take an active part in Arctic exploration. There are occasional notes by Colonel Barrow in the margins of the letters. This material is located on microfilm reels A-1543 to A-1545.
