Other publications include programs, brochures, and articles regarding sled dog racing. A pack of playing cards featuring Siberian Huskies and a pack of collector cards featuring Iditarod racers and dogs round out this series. Harris's collection also contains some beautiful original art, such as drawings, handmade cards, paintings, and even stained glass. Artists include Carol Snow, Ginger Dunlap, R.H. (Rachel) Badeau, and others. Also impressive is Harris's collection of posters and prints, including several by Jon Van Zyle featuring Iditarod and Alaska themes. Several are signed by sled dog mushers or artists.
