Scope and Contents
The Gary Smith Photo Collection consists of 10,719 color and black and white photos, negatives, slides, and transparencies as well as articles and some publicity material. The collection spans from 1960 to 1988 and is divided roughly into five parts. The first part contains images from Smith's work and outdoor excursions in the Sawtooth Wilderness Area, Canyonlands National Park, (what is now) the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and the Cache-Wasatch National Forest. Also included are many images of Rock Art. The second part consists of images taken for or used in the Windsinger book. The third part has images from Smith's years in the Marines, including his time in Okinawa and Taiwan. The fourth part are images of his friends and family, his travels in the U.S. and of his wife, Lillian Francuz. The fifth part includes images he took for the Red Baron air-racing team located in Idaho Falls. In addition, Smith did quite a bit of outdoor portraiture in Cache Valley. Some of the images pertain to his activism with environmental issues such as the Four Corners Power Plant. Many of these images are available as mounted photographs on A-Boards.
