Mountaineer Bulletin (reference set)1911-2007Archives, C3NTActive (MTRs)

Since the 2000s, the monthly Mountaineer bulletin has been known as simply "Mountaineer," since there is no longer an annual issue. Also, the number of issues per year has decreased, so it is no longer a monthly publication.

The reference set of bulletins are hard-bound for greater longevity when used by researchers. For additional, unbound, bulletins, see the archival collection. (The archival collection has all bulletins through the present, with extra copies of issues that need to be bound for reference.)
