The "Canadian Alpine Journal" is the yearly flagship publication of the Alpine Club of Canada. It serves as a worldwide journal of record for achievements in climbing, mountaineering, ski mountaineering, and exploration of mountains.

Each issue contains feature stories about notable climbs, written by the participants, as well as short notes by climbers about new and noteworthy achievements. Some general articles about mountaineering, mountain medicine, the mountain environment, or other topics are also sometimes included. Each issue includes book reviews, memorials of deceased members, and club activities.

History

The journal was founded in 1907, and during the early decades some volumes covered more than one year. Since 1947 (volume 30), the journal has been published annually.

imilar journals

Other journals of record for climbing include the "American Alpine Journal" published by the American Alpine Club, the "Alpine Journal" published by the Alpine Club (of the United Kingdom), the "Himalayan Journal", and "Iwa To Yuki", a Japanese journal. All of these journals are often used by climbers planning expeditions, especially those who wish to verify that a proposed route would be a new one. Entries in these journals (and others) concerning major Himalayan peaks are indexed in the [http://www.alpine-club.org.uk/hi/index.htm Himalayan Index] .

Online access

The Canadian Alpine Journal currently has no online access as of June 2007. A complete set of the journal on DVD is in preparation and will be available for purchase in fall 2007. [http://www.alpineclubofcanada.ca/publications/caj.html] When the ACC will get it together and make the CAJ available online is anybody's guess.
