Biographical Note
John Harvey Butchart was born, to missionary parents, in Hofei, China in 1907. He
received his early education at an American school in Hofei. After the death of his
physician father in 1916, the family returned to the United States. Butchart attend
and graduated from Eureka College in 1929. He went on to earn his masters and
doctorate in mathematics from the University of Illinois in 1929 and 1932. He was a
professor of math at Iowa's Grinnell College until he and his wife Roma moved to
Northern Arizona for the health of their asthmatic daughter Anne. In 1945 he
accepted a job in the Mathematics Department of Arizona State College (now NAU) from
which he retired in 1976.
During his tenure at NAU he became involved with the ASC Hiking Club and served as
its sponsor for twelve years. During this time he hiked most of the main trails of
the Grand Canyon. His explorations eventually branched out to abandoned, prehistoric
and animal trails.
In his 40 plus years of Canyon exploration, Butchart found 108 approaches to the
Colorado River, climbed 83 summits within the canyon and scaled canyon walls at 164
different places. He carefully documented all of these explorations - both in
correspondence with other hikers and in his trail logs. He published Grand Canyon
Treks I, II, and III. Harvey completed his last hike in the Grand Canyon in 1987 at
the age of 80. He died on May 29, 2002, in Tucson Arizona just two months after his
wife of 73 years.
Biography compiled using excerpts from Butchart's obituary.

Processing Information
The first Butchart guide included only the manuscript portion of the collection
because at that time collections were processed separately by format. At some
point the photographic portion was added with each item containing redundant
information such as item format. In 2020 these records were cleaned up with the
redundant information removed and placed in the scope and content note.
Previous to 2020 all SCA maps were assigned map numbers. In 2020 our extensive
map collections were reorganized. Maps which were not associated with
collections were assigned Library of Congress call numbers while maps that were
associated with collections maintained the original map number within the
associated manuscript collection. For assistance with maps, please ask an SCA
employee.
Correspondence has been organized in alphabetical then chronological order
based on sender and date. Key geographical names have been included in the
Folder descriptions
Scope & Contents
