The Outdoor Archive is a hardcover survey of outdoor graphic design spanning roughly a century, drawn from Utah State University's Outdoor Recreation Archive. The collection focuses on magazine covers, catalogs, and brand imagery from over 70 companies, including The North Face, Salomon, and Columbia, tracing how adventure culture has been visualized across print.
The book includes contributions from photographer Chris Burkard and climber Conrad Anker, and was designed by Actual Source. For readers interested in the graphic history of outdoor sport and the visual language that shaped how wilderness and athleticism have been sold and celebrated.
