Since its foundation in 1857 there have always been members of the Alpine Club who have carried sketch-books into the mountains, keeping a record of their endeavours and the peaks they had climbed. Descriptions of these artists form the principal part of the text of this Dictionary, together with many illustrations of their work.
In 1895 the Alpine Club's move to Savile Row, with its generous accommodation, enabled exhibitions of scale and scope to be held and the beginnings of a collection to form.

Throughout these many changes the Club's collection has grown, almost exclusively by virtue of gifts from members, families and friends.
In recent years the exhibition tradition has continued. As well as displays from permanent collection,
