Staff Only

Scope and Contents

Boxes 21-33 contain a series of ski history scrapbooks entitled, "Skiing a Historical Snapshot" that Alan Engen prepared. In this first volume of the scrapbook, Engen traces the mythological and historical origins of skiing until the modern era of skiing begins. Engen's goal was to document as completely as possible the entire history and development of skiing. While references are made to international events through newspaper clippings, the scrapbooks focus mostly on skiing events that occurred in and around the Intermountain West.
