Provenance:
The beginnings of the Himalayan Library are traced back to the efforts of
Professor E.O. Dyrenfurth, the task then passed down to Anders Bolinder, and finally the
collection cultivated and expanded by John M. Boyle. In the years spanning 1987-1997, Boyle
further developed the collection with specific emphasis put on unique items and signatures of
expedition members. In 1997, Boyle donated the Himalayan Library to the American Alpine Club
Library.

Box: Manaslu, Folder: 1956 Manaslu 1 Ascent – Summit Photos.
Scope and Contents
In 1997, the American Alpine Club Library received a generous donation from John M. Boyle: the
Himalayan Library. This collection contains 2500 books in 28 different languages/dialects
(approximately half of these autographed by expedition members), 400 expedition reports, and
100 videos/films and 35 boxes of ephemera.
The Himalayan Library has the only autographed collection of first ascent books on all fourteen
8,000 meter and seven summit peaks. Other unique items include first ascent books by John
Hunt, Maurice Herzog and Karl Herrligkoffer; book by Hasagawa on his illegal solo ascent of
Nanga Parbat; book with autographs of 1924 British expedition members; 1982 ABC aerial photo
footage of the East Face of Everest; slide images of a 1994 aerial fly-by; and one of only five
known surviving copies of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India.
The impetus for the creation of the Himalayan Library came to Boyle while in preparation for a
1983 Everest East Face Expedition. As assigned expedition engineer, the task of getting 12
climbers and 3,000 lbs of equipment and supplies safely up the East Face required detailed
research information and documentation on past expeditions and routes. In researching, Boyle
could find no continuous record of expedition logs. Also found lacking were photographic
material and bibliographies of recommended books and resources.
In Boyle’s words, “The Himalayan Library genesis was the task to find a way up the East Face of
Everest”; a task which was in the end successful when on October 8th and 9th of 1983, six team
members stood atop the summit. Upon the return from Everest, Boyle began gathering and
compiling a complete library on Himalayan Expeditions.
The first incarnation of the Himalayan Library began in pre-WWII Austria by Professor E.O.
Dyrenfurth. These early expeditions were largely organized by national clubs and due to the
publicity and interest in the unknowns of high altitude exploration, the expeditions were well
documented, written about and reported on. Professor Dyrenfurth collected detailed records of
these early expeditions. In 1969, upon Professor Dyrenfurth’s retirement, the library and
collection responsibilities fell to Anders Bolinder of Switzerland.
Bolinder became European Honorary Secretary of the Himalayan Mountain Club and provided
extensive reporting on European Himalayan expeditions; this included his interviews of all
expedition teams. He was noted as the “reporter of record” on European Himalayan expeditions.
Bolinder’s death in 1986 resulted in the move of the library once again. In 1987, Boyle purchased
Bolinder’s collection of around 300 books from his estate.
The collection has been compiled primarily by John Boyle himself, with the exception of three
primary purchases: the acquisition of the Anders Bolinder archival collection, the acquisition of a
collection of books from Eugen Gippenreitter and finally the acquisition of a collection of books
from Leonid Zmatnin. These collections were coalesced by Boyle, into what is today the
Himalayan Library.
The completeness and thorough scope of this assemblage are part of the uniqueness of this
collection. A primary focus has been documentation of every expedition to the Great Peaks and
collection of the expedition report in the original language. Another unique aspect of this
collection lies in autographed material. Each of the first ascents of the fourteen 8000 meter
peaks is documented in a book. The Himalayan Library holds books from each expedition,
autographed by expedition team members.
