The Climbers' Club have completed a project to digitise all of their Journals (1898 to 2005) - 121 volumes in total. The process involved very high quality scanning and optical character recognition to produce top quality and word searchable Adobe reader files (pdf).  Copies of these files have been provided for the Club Archives, Journal Editor and the Web site.

Due to the severe restrictions under the UK Copyright Law it is not possible to place much of the content on-line.  In addition the files are very large (total of 20GB) and even with broadband they take ages to download.

 

If you have provided articles and/or photographs for the CC Journal and would be willing to give the Climbers' Club permission to place these articles and/or photographs on our web site then click on the right.

Meanwhile we have placed the following on the web:

High quality extracts, including photographs, from the 1898/1900 (8.4MB) and 1998 (10.2MB) Journals Catalogue of the Journals with links to CC copyright and author/photographer permitted compressed extracts (fast to download but quality of pictures reduced).  Extracts will be added gradually over time. Searchable contents and index (where provided) pages

To assist legitimate researchers and our members, the CC have launched a number of services for full searching and the provision of quality extracts within the bounds allowed by the UK Copyright Law.  These services are:

Free word search of the complete set to identify articles which may be of interest.  A list of Journals, with short text extracts, will be provided by email.  This service is not too time consuming - 5min/word for the entire Journal search but may be restricted and response time will depend on availability of your Web Manager. Use link on right and complete the short from.
Chargeable extract service for both members (discounted) and non-members.  This is restricted under the UK Copyright Laws to 1 article from each Journal for personal or research use only. Use the link on the right to download an application form - UK Copyright law requires written and signed paperwork.
