As a writer, editor, teacher, historian, speaker, and advocate for the environment he contributed much to the culture of the American West.

The photographs in this collection include portraits of Wallace Stegner, his wife Mary Page Stegner, and thier son Stuart Page Stegner (Page); various photographs from trips he took including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Germany, Italy, the Orient, as well as photographs from one of his good friends, the writer Bernard DeVoto.
