William O. Field spent much of his long and interesting life as a geographer, pioneer glaciologist, and active member of the American Geographical Society. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Field made three visits to the Soviet Union. During his time there he photographed some of the highest peaks in the Caucasus and also found time to document a variety of historical churches, towers, and settlements in the surrounding area. As part of their ongoing work with the archives of the American Geographical Society, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Libraries scanned and digitized over 700 of Field's images for this fine collection. Visitors to the collection can browse through the images via thematic categories like "Architecture" or "Cities and Towns". As a special bonus, visitors can also view Field's travel notes and diaries from these sojourns.
