Note:

Title supplied by cataloger.
Captioned, including drawings, clippings, poetry, and other supplemental matieral.
Albums seem to attempt to capture the whole process of each trip - not just photograph scenes from the trip itself. They include photos of maps, trip announcements, equipment, as well as extensive captions (some in the form of limericks)--and illustrations. David Brower termed the "Glacier" album the "prototype of exhibit format books."
Photographed by Braeme Eugene Gigas.
