This collection consists of three parts, as detailed below. The first two parts (REI history and Lloyd Anderson climbing notebook) are contained in a single three-ring binder. The binder was given to Mary Hsue (Mountaineers Director of Development) by Sue Anderson in May 2017, in preparation for a memorial celebration for Mary Anderson. PDF copies of the binder contents (MTR.2009.5.1 and MTR.2009.5.2) have been saved in the Mountaineers History Committee Digital Archives (Documents folder).
