About this Collection

Photographs from the collection of George A. Shumway Jr, Ph.D, former Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) researcher. The images document historic and scientific information on SIO expeditions to the Arctic, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands, and Peru, many from the Shellback Expedition which voyaged in the 1950s. Shumway took pictures of wildlife, sea life, local people, scenery, oceanographic instruments, and candid shots of expedition personnel. Digital copies of the original images were donated to the library by Shumway's daughter, Holly Montúfar, Dorothy Shumway, and the entire Shumway family.
