The Information Center for Ropeway Studies is the largest special collection on the history, theory, design and operation of wire rope systems in the US.
Our focus:
OITAF (International Organization for Transportation by Rope)
OITAF-NACS (North American Continent Section)
AWRF (Associated Wire Rope Fabricators)
The Center was established in 1991 to support research on ropeway technology; it is guided by an Advisory Board of industry members. Collections include books, journals, newsletters, manufacturers' catalogs, images and other media. The Advisory Board's emphasis for making ropeway information widely accessible led to the creation of the Center's ROPEWAY database of ropeway publications held at the Center and elsewhere.
For their support, our thanks to:
