Scrapbooks from the 1960s Alpenbock Climbing Club were donated to the Library in 2006, but were only made publicly available in 2023. This presentation describes the challenges of a multi-author unpublished donation and my multi-step de-risking process so the library could publish the scrapbooks in the Digital Library. The digitized scrapbooks immediately received recognition. Scrapbook images were featured on the front-page of the Salt Lake Tribune and several other news stories highlighting the historical significance of these inspirational stories. This case study's process provides a framework for other complicated donations, especially for those working within a community.
