Historical Mountaineering and Outdoor Recreation Talk at St. Helens Public Library
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 13, 2019
ST. HELENS, OR – The St. Helens Public Library will host the Mazamas and the Oregon Historical Society for a presentation and glass lantern slideshow on the history of the Mazamas, mountaineering, and outdoor recreation in the Pacific Northwest. The presentation will take place on Tuesday, October 1 at 7 p.m. in the Library’s Auditorium.
The Oregon Historical Society will show a glass lantern slideshow that illustrates historical outdoor recreation in the Pacific Northwest. Using hand-colored slides from the 1920s and an original contemporary narration, the presentation will look back at over 125 years of outdoor history, dating back to before the founding of the Mazamas in 1894.
Founded on the summit of Mount Hood, the Mazamas is a nonprofit mountaineering education organization headquartered in Portland. The Mazamas promotes climbing, responsible recreation, and conservation values through outdoor education, advocacy, and outreach.
Mathew Brock, the Library and Historical Collections Manager at the Mazamas, and Matthew Cowan, an Archivist for Photography and Moving Images at the Oregon Historical Society, will co-host the presentation.
