We offer an outstanding collection of books, periodicals, maps, journals, videos, and Mountaineers records. Our historic and current sources of information focus on outdoor recreation including rock, snow, water and mountaineering sports. There is also an emphasis on conservation, human and natural history. You will find the library to be a rich resource for trip planning, skills improvement (including "how to" information), and historical research. We are currently investigating ways to make The Mountaineers Library collection available to even more people by digitizing its contents and allowing advanced searching of the entire contents. If you are interested in helping with this undertaking, please contact Eric Linxweiler.
