Oregon State University Mountain Club Records, 1947-1975

The two scrapbooks (Box 03), which cover 1948-1957 and 1962, consist of newspaper clippings, photographs, flyers, sample newsletters, and ephemeral items documenting the club's skiing, mountaineering, and rescue activities, as well as activities of the club's current and former members.

The constitution in Box 01 probably dates from the early 1960s; meeting minutes, also found in Box 01, date from 1947-1950, 1953-1954, and 1967-1969. Holdings of the club's newsletter, the Local Yodel, are from 1949-1952, 1954, 1962, and 1967-1971 (Box 01). Many of the issues from 1949-1952 are located in the first scrapbook. The Mountain Rescue Association materials (1959-1975) include correspondence, Corvallis Unit member lists, photographs of practice rescues and other information (Box 01; photographs are in Box 02).

The miscellaneous materials include correspondence between Willi Unsoeld, Barry Corbett, and others regarding a mountaineering film Corbett was planning (1959-1960; Box 01); and annual organization review forms from the Student Activities Committee (1971/72-1973/74; Box 01).
