LostCamKenny Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You should create your own museum - that is an impressive collection! Ken Burns should contact you if he ever decides to do a documentary/series on mountaineering in North America! Very cool to look at the changing times in technology that is preserved in the (do I dare call them this) artifacts that you have. Thanks for sharing!!!

mccallboater Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hey Dane, combine your tools with Bill Fix's books and Joe Collin's photos/climber's signature collection and you would have the core of a great climbing archive. Do you (or does anyone else) know what has happened to those other collections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Don't know about Joe's stuff. But Bill helped me a bunch of times by letting me use his library for research before trips. I had thought much of it (Bill's) was actually the Spokane Mountaineer's library. Â If not, hopefully it was donated as such as the basis for a SML. Steve Reynolds would know I bet. Â At some point in the future I'll donate these as a collection. Doug Robinson and I have chatted about a "ice climbing project" just for that occasion and others like it.

mccallboater Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The Spokane Mountaineer's part of Bill's books was a subset of that entire collection. The last I heard (which was several years ago) SPL was negotiating with Bill and Harriet Fix to receive Bill's collection, but I don't think that ever happened. Steve R, do you know if it ever found a permanent home? Joe Collin's photos are the best collection of climbing pictures from the post WWII era I have ever seen, comparable to Ira Spring's. His famous climber signature collection is wild. Â Sorry everybody for thread highjack. Â Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
