Mountaineering libraries (back issues of CAJ)

[Ade]

I'm doing a bit of research and was looking for a library that had back issues of the Canadian Alpine Journal (CAJ), and maybe other journals, American Alpine Journal and Alpine Journal etc.

Yes, I know the Mountaineers library has all this but they also want $15 to make a copy of an article... I don't think so.

Are there any other libraries in Puget Sound?

Ade- You're lucky I do research for a living, I found these first try. The University of Washington has all three journals that you mentioned. The UW library page is http://www.lib.washington.edu

My assumption is that you cannot check these out, so bring lots of change or buy a copy card.

Here are the links to the three: http://catalog.lib.washington.edu/search/t?SEARCH=Canadian+Alpine+Journal+ http://catalog.lib.washington.edu/search/t?SEARCH=Alpine+Journal+ http://catalog.lib.washington.edu/search/t?SEARCH=American+Alpine+Journal+

The reserve library at the UW (basement of the Natural Sciences) Has all the AAJ and CAJ printed, as well as the indexes. I think you can access them even if you are not a student or staff and copies are .40

Just remember to bring a pad of paper and a *pencil* if you want to copy things down.

I saw that $15 dollars notice on the Mountaineer's web site, but I went down there anyway. I'm not a member of that organization, but they only charged me 15 cents per page.

The special collections room at UW doesn't have the complete set of AAJ, but they have most of them. I went there yesterday too. But note that they close at 5 pm. The Mountaineer's library is open until 9 pm.
