The Mountaineers was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1906. The first president was Edmund S. Meany. Standing committees were appointed at that first meeting of the club to take over the work and organization of the two main activities, the local and annual outings. The number of standing committees grew with the increasing membership and interests of the club. Mountain climbing has been one of the major interests. In 1935 climbing classes were organized to teach the fundamentals of Mountaineering. The Mountaineers were the first organized group to develop skiing in the Northwest. There are branches in Tacoma, Everett, and Olympia.

| Scope and Content | |||||||||||||||||||
| Two interviews with previously active members of the Mountaineers; 1995 and 1996. Activities and experiences through and because of the club are discussed. John Hossack, a well known climber, talks about weekend trips with other club members, serving as an instructor for climbing courses, winter activities such as skiing, and summer outings through the club in various places throughout the greater Northwest. One such outing involved making a first ascent on Grand Teton. Equipment in use during the 1930s and 1940s is also discussed. Margaret (Peg) and William (Bill) Stark discuss the impact the Mountaineers had on their family, especially their children. The Starks spent much of their free time exploring the Enchantment Lakes area east of Mt. Stuart in the Cascade range of Washington. Their explorations of the area provided some names to features in the area. After Bill Stark's retirement, the couple led guided trips into the mountains, although not in the Enchantment area. | |||||||||||||||||||
