CENTENARY JOURNALS

The Club has published two special centenary journals - not available on-line:

The Climbers' Club Centenary Journal - published in 1998 - Editor Terry Gifford

The Climbers' Club Guidebook Centenary Journal - published in 2009 - Editor R F (Bob) Allen

CC JOURNALS - on-line

The Club has recently completed a project to digitise the entire collection of Journals from 1898 to 2007.  The result is we now have a full set of fully searchable pdfs.  Searchable contents have been placed on the web site.  Due to the restrictions of UK Copyright Law we can only make the journals available for download when we have either obtained copyright permission or copyright has lapsed (70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the author(s) passed away).  Where we have obtained copyright permission extracts are now downloadable. For articles not yet on the web we provide a search and quality article extract service.

PLEASE NOTE: Mac and iPad users will find that pages of the extracts do not render correctly in the Safari browser. We suggest that Mac users download the file and then open with Adobe Reader. For iPad users download the Adobe Reader App and from Safari "Open in..." Adobe Reader. Safari on Window PCs render OK.

The content pages of each Journal and where provided indexes to articles, authors and illustrations/photographs are provided for download and/or searching. Click on the appropriate pdf to download content/index pages or use the search button to search all Contents/Index pdfs.  Some errors in Volume  and Numbers were made and corrections are in red. Journals that are complete are highlighted in bold & green.

The Download links below provide access to Journal extracts of articles/photographs where we have obtained signed copyright clearance or CC copyright material e.g. club notes, editorials, reviews etc .  These extracts are being produced over time and have been compressed for optimum download speeds.  The extracts are in pdf format and you will need the Adobe Reader or equivalent.  The Adobe Reader can be downloaded free by clicking on the link below:

Version 8 recommended
Download if needed		 We have also launched an article extract service (visit Journal Services) for private study and research within the limits of UK Copyright Laws.  This will require completion of an application for each article and a small payment.
