The Brian L. Mazza Mountain Studies Collection

Brian Mazza (1961 – 2007) grew up in Rocky Mountain House, graduated from the University of Calgary, and was the editor of The Mountaineer newspaper. Mazza left a generous bequest to the University of Calgary’s library to establish and develop a mountain studies collection. The collection consists of historical and contemporary materials devoted to mountain studies, mountain ecology, mountain culture, mountain sports, and more.
