The Mountaineers haveĀ an agreement with the University of Washington (UW) in which the club transfers archival materials to the UW Library on an ongoing basis. This page documents some of the materials transferred in the past, with links (when available) to UW collection records. This page also lists materials donated to the UW by individual Mountaineers members, independent of the club.
THIS LISTING IS NOT COMPLETE. Researchers are encouraged to visit the UW Special Collections website and contact UW Library staff for a more complete search of Mountaineers-related materials. Also, see the following printed publication for older UW collections and make sure to browse its subsection, "North Cascades History Project Files."
