Yale Mountaineering Collection


Once a month I do a bit of trolling on iTunes University. Today I came across a little known gem ... a 6 minute podcast highlighting the extensive Yale Mountaineering collection. A collection started in memory of Michael Curtis (a yale graduate) who was killed climbing in the Alps. To access this podcast go to iTunes University, then Yale University, and then to the Yale Humanities section. The podcast is done by Emily Horning, and it is entitled "The Yale Collection of Mountaineering Literature." The enclosed picture is the bookplate in each of titles.
