This catalogue contains descriptions relating to the collections in our care.

Collections include expedition planning records, reports, diaries, photographs and slides, equipment, clothing, climbing wall plans, magazines and journals, press cuttings, books, awards, drawings, films and many other types of material.

We have limited staff resources so have prioritised adding a summary description for all our collections to give an overview of all the collections in our care.

Where we have managed to obtain dedicated cataloguing resource, collections are catalogued in detail, notably the Sir Chris Bonington Archive and the Joe Tasker Collection (both funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund). Some collections have paper catalogues which we will transfer or attach to the online catalogue as soon as possible.

Many collections are not catalogued in detail – we are writing grant funding bids to try and get these catalogued and make them accessible as soon as possible.

In the future we plan to add digital images of collections to their catalogue descriptions.

If you struggle to find what you are looking for, please do get in touch and we will be happy to help.
