Hiker Photo Archive

Having your photo taken at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC)
headquarters in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, has become a standard
ritual for those hikers intending on walking the entire A.T. One of
the functions of the ATC, as the lead organization in managing and
protecting the A.T., is to maintain the official 2,000-miler registry
of all those who have completed the A.T. Therefore, having a photo
taken here makes many hikers feel as though their hikes have gained
official recognition.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Quimby Family Foundation and the
work of dedicated volunteers of the A.T. Museum under the leadership
of Terry Harley Wilson, both scanned versions of the earlier Polaroid
photos and the more recent digital photos can now be viewed on-line
from anywhere in the world. When the A.T. Museum opened in
Pennsylvania's Pine Grove Furnace State Park in 2010, digital
versions of the photos became available there too. (read expanded

History

Between January and April 2009, 12,779 images representing over
18,000 Appalachian Trail hikers were carefully removed from old
notebooks, barcoded, scanned at 600 dpi, and placed into archival
quality sleeves and slip-covered albums. read more . . .
