The Herbert Schlink collection donated to KHA by his widow, covering the years 1926-1977.
It contains early correspondence relating to Kosciusko ski development, one of the party that first skied from Kiandra to Guthega, and the SMA.
Dr Herbert Schlink, gynaecologist and medical administrator, began cross-country skiing expeditions in the early-1920s and in 1925/26 Schlink convinced the New South Wales Tourism Commission to assist with construction of two huts for a proposed Kiandra to Hotel Kosciusko expedition which were successfully competed in 1927. Both of these huts remain. Tin Hut is much as it was constructed, but rebuilt by NPWS in 2016, and Pounds Creek Hut was extended to form Illawong Lodge in 1956. The Schlink Hilton was an SMA hut near the Pass named for Bertie Schlink and its comfort. First rope tow in KNP on Tate east ridge above Guthega dam built by his ski club.
