In the recent Tomb Raider trilogy, titular adventurer/archaeologist Lara Croft has had the chance to visit locations that historians could only dream existed. As well as all of the gruesome takedowns and actual tomb raiding she'll be doing in these places, Lara also spends a lot of her time doing actual archaeological work through picking up various relics and documents throughout her travels.

More than just experience points and padding, the writers at Crystal Dynamics put in a lot of effort to make each discovery worth the trouble it took to find them insofar as each collection could be considered their own short stories. They're all worth your time, but one of the most memorable comes in the form of the Fawcett's expedition in Shadow Of The Tomb Raider.

Found in the jungle section, this series of documents account for the doomed expedition through the jungle in the 1920s. Told from the perspective of each of the three members (including a father and son), we get a full understanding of their situation as they become lost and increasingly more desperate.

Helping to establish the jungle setting as a treacherous environment early on, these are collectables that every aspiring tomb raider should seek out.
