A while back ago I stumbled across this incredible collection of photos that were available on-line. The Pomona Library system had digitized and posted a collection of almost 9,000 photos taken from 1915 to the 1950's by Brandon Frasher. All over the Southwest-but an aweful lot from the Eastside.
They're not climbing photos-but it's pretty cool to see what things used to look like.
Frasher photo collection
Tioga Pass in 1926. Look at the road to the far left. Musta felt like 5.9 to just drive there.
Lone Pine in 1928. The Dow was a little smaller back then
Bishop in 1926. Probably couldn't get a latte back then
They even had stuff for Locker-chicks in bathing suits. Mono Lake 1933(Mark Twain day)
You can find cool stuff with the right search words.Deja vu for those whoever won one of IHATEPLASTIC's contests. Hope you all like it.

The Independence Museum is a great place for eastside history/pictures, also the New Manzanar National historic site
Library of congress is a great source for pictorial history..

Appreciate the concern S.S. Only put up the few images so people could get an idea what the actual site holds. A link and nothing else provided wouldn't have been very inspiring.
Now, regarding the coffee table book I'm working on, that could be an a problem...
Happy news years Nita.
