 Grand
Canyon River Guides began producing a newsletter upon its inception
in 1988. At first it was a semi-annual flier, then quarterly. By 1991
it had grown to 20 pages and gained the makeshift title, The News.
Another three years passed and it approached 40 pages, and gained its
current name, boatman's quarterly review. The BQR for
short.
The BQR features news, commentary, art, creative writing, history, Science, and humor pertaining to the Colorado River, Grand Canyon and the river running community. In 1993 the BQR began carrying oral histories of river runners as its feature article, as part of the Grand Canyon River Guides Oral History Project. In addition to the BQR we occasionally issue a special publication, perspectives, to help analyze issues of particular import to the river community. We hope, eventually, to make the majority of BQRs and their contents available online. However, if you find yourself interested in what the BQR has to offer, you are doing yourself a disservice by not joining Grand Canyon River Guides. The quality of the photographs and fine printing of the publication will never come across on screen as it does in your hand. Especially if you're on the River. |
