The books and pamphlets in the collection include histories and legends of the region, novels and stories laid in the area, personal accounts of travel, and descriptions of the mountains in both prose and verse. There is a large group of railway schedules, travel guides, and handbooks of mountain trails and climbs. These include, among others, long series of Sweetser's, Eastman's, and the Appalachian Mountain Club White Mountains guides.
Records for all of these items can be found in the Library’s online catalog.
