Introduction/ Scope and contents
This collection contains approximately 5,000 historic photonegatives (including nearly 500 glass plate photonegatives, which the Center has digitized and displayed on its website) of western and southwestern Colorado, including Montrose, Ouray, Silverton, Telluride, Durango, and adjacent areas, . These are the work of approximately five photography studios including the Walker Art Studio (Montrose, Colo.).
Administrative information
Acquisition of this collection: These photonegatives were purchased by the Fort Lewis College Foundation from Main Street Photography (Montrose, Colo.) for the Center of Southwest Studies in 1999 and 2000. The accession numbers are 1999:10015 (including glass plate photonegatives #s P0421500 through P0422525, which the Center has digitized and displayed on its website) and 2000:05005 (which includes nitrate photonegatives, stored offsite).
About the organization of this collection: Because we do not expect to add to this collection, the photonegatives are numbered in one single numbering scheme that is part of the Center's numbering of its photonegatives.The glass plate negatives in accession 1999:10015 are numbered consecutively in one series from 1,500 to 2,525.
Processing information: This guide was produced by Todd Ellison, Certified Archivist, Center of Southwest Studies; last revised February 20, 2006. The glass plates were archivally rehoused by Jaymie Asmussen in 2000-01. Digitization of glass plates numbers 1,500 through 2,525 was begun 7/19/2001 by Nik Kendziorski and finished 8/29/2001. Initial data entry of the image metadata was by student archival assistants at the Center of Studies, 2000-01 .
Funding/ acknowledgments:
Funding for the digitization/ online image access project was provided by Colorado Digitization Program
(CDP) grants as part of the Center’s Visual Access digitization
project which is a part of the multi-state subsequently renamed Collaborative Digitization
Program (as of April 2007, part of the (BCR), in Denver). This joint
venture is preserving traces of this region’s history that would have otherwise
be unavailable.
| Through its partnership with the (CDP -- formerly the Colorado Digitization Program), the Center of Southwest Studies has digitized many thousands of images selected from a number of collections, for viewing on the Web for educational purposes and research.

The CDP is supported through a National Leadership Grant to the University of Denver Penrose Library from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (a federal grant-making agency in Washington, D.C., which fosters innovation, leadership and a lifetime of learning, by supporting museums and libraries) with additional assistance from the Colorado State Library, and the Colorado Regional Library Systems. |
The Center of Southwest Studies is grateful to the Fort Lewis College Foundation for funding the purchase of the Walker Art Studio collection of photonegatives. The Center also is thankful for the work of digitization consultant Nik Kendziorski. Together, we are collaboratively bridging the distance of time by making digital images available for educational research used by an extensive audience of Internet viewers.
Historical note (Source: Marilyn Cox, 970-249-6135, Montrose Historical Society)
Dex Walker started the Walker Art Studio and passed it on to his son Ben Walker. It is possible that the glass slides in this collection came from the McKee studio, also in Montrose.
Thomas Michael McKee was a well-known early day photographer whose Montrose shop was located where the Fox Theater now stands.
He was one of the first photographers in the Mesa Verde region, blazing his own trail into the area in 1889. He dug out old springs once used by the Cliff Dwellers in order to secure water for his work and camp use, and struggled to carry his large plate cameras over the cliffs and through the almost impenetrable oak brush. He set up his dark room in some of the inner rooms of Spruce Tree House and Cliff Palace.
McKee was one of the first to conduct experiments with radium; it was largely through his efforts that it came into general use. Carnotite, the ore from which radium is taken, was discovered in Montrose County by an Irishman named Duling. McKee used nitrate of uranium instead of gold in his photographic work.
From 1906 to 1920, McKee spent a great deal of time in Utah at the Ute Indian reservation. It was here that he learned the Ute language, customs and dances. He was well-acquainted with Chipeta and she often visited his Montrose home. In Utah he secured his famous collection of bead work and baskets which at one time were displayed in the lobby of the Fox Theater. The collection was later donated to the Ute Indian Museum.
During his years in Montrose, McKee produced thousands of photographs, including photos of the old army post at Fort Crawford. He spent several years as the official photographer for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad.
