Historia biográfica
The Alpine Club of Canada, the national mountaineering club, was founded in 1906 by A. O. Wheeler and other like-minded climbers. The club espoused scientific study and exploration, cultivation of art, public education, acquisition of climbing skills, and preservation of natural areas within the mountainous regions of Canada. Through a national executive, local sections and volunteer committees, the club provided climbing camps, clubhouse, huts, and publications, including the Canadian Alpine Journal. ACC expeditions and projects resulted in pioneer exploration, first ascents, and included mountain warfare training during the Second World War. In recent years, the club's membership has increased dramatically with the popularity of climbing and its programs have evolved to serve the needs of unguided climbers using sophisticated technical aids.
Historial de custodia
Portion of the records (ca.28 m of textual records, ca.13,500 photographs) were housed by the Vancouver Public Library until 1971, when it was transferred by the Alpine Club of Canada to the Archives of the Canadian Rockies (now the Whyte Museum) in 1971 and maintained as a long-term loan until 1986
