R.H. McKay: Western Montana Photographer

umt010126.jpg

Rollin H. McKay, a prominent Missoula commercial photographer from about 1911 through the 1940s, created an impressive catalog of images of Missoula and western Montana’s places, landscapes, people and lifestyles. Not only was he a prolific photographer, McKay was able to shoot action scenes (such as “A Bucker”) using very large, awkward equipment, especially by today’s standards. This exhibit features some of McKay’s most iconic images.

All materials featured in this exhibit are from the R. H. McKay Photograph Collection, Mss 249 held by Archives and Special Collections, Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library, University of Montana-Missoula. Email Archives and Special Collections if you have comments or questions about this exhibit.
