Hello Chockstone

I've been doing research on the global development of climbing tools and techniques, and have been acquiring stacks of books and magazines for my research. Turns out, old rare books are cheaper than ever on Abe's Books, used to be very hard to find some old books, like Bonatti's great tales (they will get expensive again, I am sure...). Arapiles Mountain Books is also a great collector and seller.

Anyway, when my research is done (next decade or so), I am hoping to find a home for the book collection. Wondering about the historical resources here in Australia. Are there any libraries in Australia that have a good special collection of old and new mountaineering books and journals? Maybe Noddy has room for a library? ;)

My research is at bigwallgear.com (still in the early 1900s). Any leads appreciated.

Cheers
John Middendorf
