Historical NoteReturn to Top

Wildey "Bud" Kimball was born in Portland, Oregon on November 23, 1914. He had an early interest in flight, and received his Private Pilot's license on December 20, 1932. He graduated from Stadium High School in Tacoma, WA in 1933. While in college, he became a glider instructor, one of only five certified glider pilots west of the Mississippi River. When World War II broke out, Kimball became a flight instructor at the Twentynine Palms Air Academy in California under contract to the Army. In 1950, Kimball began apprentice training in aerial photography with United Aerial Survey of Sonora, CA. In subsequent years he worked as a flight instructor, an aircraft salesman, a fashion photographer, and a pilot. By 1965, he had logged 9000 hours of flight time in various aircraft. Kimball retired to Ocean Shores, WA.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Wildey "Bud" Kimball collection consists primarily of aerial photographs, in varying formats, taken by Kimball between 1959 and 1980. While the majority of the photographs are from western Washington state, also included are photographs from a 1966 California/Nevada/Arizona trip and images of Alaskan glaciers from two separate trips in 1972 and 1978.

Of particular note are Kimball's detailed aerial color photographs of Mt. St. Helens before and after the May 18, 1980 eruption. Included is a series taken on May 17th, 1980, approximately 18 hours before the eruption. Kimball's Mt. St. Helens photographs can be found in slide form (series 3), as 24"x24" color transparencies (series 4), as microfiche (series 9), and as a roll of original negative film (series 12: box 17, item 233). Small quantities of St. Helens images can be found in several other series as well.

Where possible, the collection has been left in its original order ascribed to it by its creator. The majority of the collection is sorted by size and type of materials, and then sorted chronologically within those series. For materials where no discernible organization existed, items were generally again sorted by type and then either chronologically or by subject within each category.
