Paul Robbins photograph collection, 1960s-2005

The Paul Robbins photograph collection consists of 4 boxes containing 3,059 color slides, transparencies, postcards, negatives and black-and-white photographs and negatives collected and taken by Robbins over the course of his career as a ski journalist and historian. The collection spans from approximately the 1960s to 2005. Box 1 contains color slides and transparencies documenting a United States Ski Association Eastern Championship series. The images were removed from a binder titled" USSA 1186 FIS Regional Series Slide Production" and also contain views of the mountain at Mt. Snow Ski and Golf Resort, Times Square in New York City, ski resort in Italy and a ski lodge. The images in Box 1 may not have been produced by Robbins, since most are labeled either "David K. Verner," "FUZZ," and "Mt. Snow Ski and Golf Resort c. Bob Perry."

Box 2 contains black-and-white and color photographs and negatives of members of the U.S. Ski Team and other skiers, primarily taken by Robbins in the course of his work as a ski journalist. The images are alphabetized by the last name of the athlete. Box 3 continues the portraits of skiers and contains photographs of unidentified and identified ski competitions and training. Box 4 contains photographs of ski areas, resorts, and events in Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Utah, and Vermont. There are also imges of events and scenes in Austria, Canada, Norway and Switzerland. There is a large concentration of images of skiing in New England, where Robbins lived; particularly Vermont and New Hampshire.
