Historically significant, extensive collection of ca. 500 original gelatin silver photos, taken and collected by an Oregon mountaineer, writer and advertising agent, Merle W. Manly. In the 1920s, he was a member of the "Mazamas" alpine club, founded in Portland in 1894 (the third oldest in the United States after the Appalachian Mountain Club, 1876 and Sierra Club, 1892; see more ). During this time, Manly was a member of the Mazama Executive Council (1926-1932, with breaks) and several committees, its vice-president (1928), official historian (1931-1932) and the editor (1924-1928) of the club's annual publication "Mazama: A record of mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest." The "Mazama" published three of Manly's illustrated reports of the club's mountaineering expeditions: "The West side climb of Mt. Hood in 1923" (1923, p. 21), "The Conquest of Mt. Logan" (1925, p. 85) and "Next year, Mt. Rainier" (1926, p. 106). Manly published at least two works in a book form: an advertising brochure "A trip through the land of wool?" (Oregon City Woolen Mills, 1924), present in this collection; and an illustrated account of a winter ascent of Mount Hood "When winter comes" (Portland, Or., 1933). In his main time, Manly worked in the Portland advertising industry and in the 1940s was the chairman of the Oregon branch of the American Association of Advertising Agencies (The Oregonian, 15 October 1947, p. 17). The two albums date back to Manly's active mountaineering years with the "Mazamas" and document at least fourteen of the club's expeditions in the Cascades in the 1920s. One of the earliest is "Mazama Outing, Mt. Hood, 1923," with over 20 images, including various views of Paradise Park, Eden Park, Barrett Spur, "Ice falls of Reid Glacier," two excellent large views of the Reid Glacier (one outlining th.
