History edit
Archer Glacier was first charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache, 1897–99, and named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Frederick Scott Archer, an English architect who in 1849 invented the wet collodion process of photography, the first practical process on glass.
