The Alpine Mountain Club was originally formed as a ski club at the University of Utah by Psychology professor Dr. Ernst Beir in 1955. Photographs in the collection detail the various activities engaged in by the group such as skiing and mountain climbing. There are also several prints of group socials and some of the scenery encountered during the expeditions.

The Wilby Durham photograph collection consists of two black and white photographs of a group of people at an unidentified dinner party. The photographs were taken by Deseret News photographer Howard C. Moore on March 8, 1962. Additional materials donated digitally for his induction into the Intermountain Ski Hall of Fame
