The Himalayan Database

The Himalayan Database: The Expedition Archives of Elizabeth Hawley is a comprehensive digital and published record of mountaineering in the Nepalese Himalayas since 1903, maintained by Richard Sailsbury who is credited to be instrumental in creating the database. The database was also previously maintained by Elizabeth Hawley before her death in 2018.[1][2][3][4][5] It is available as a CD and an 80-page paperback.[4] It fills in for the absence of officially maintained records.[6] It has been published by the American Alpine Club.[7]
