The Chuck Williams Photographic Collection documents the life and work of Oregon photographer Charles Otis "Chuck" Williams. Throughout his decades-long career, predominately between the 1970s-2000s in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Williams photographed a variety of events, locations, and communities. His photographic record includes images of Native American communities as well as events related to environmental activism, cultural celebrations, Pride celebrations, food and agriculture, and the arts. His collection also includes documentation of Oregon’s scenery and recreational activities as well as national parks across the United States. The majority of the collection is comprised of slides, but also includes prints, contact sheets, and negatives. A sampling of Williams' photography of cultural celebrations is available online via Oregon Digital.
Biographical Note:
Charles Otis "Chuck" Williams was a photographer with a decades-long career, predominately between the 1970s-2000s in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, during which he photographed a variety of events, locations, and communities. Williams was born on July 20, 1943, in Portland, Oregon, and was a direct descendant of Chief Tumulth of the Cascades Tribe, who signed the (ratified) 1855 Treaty of the Willamette Valley. In addition to his work as a photographer, Williams worked as publications editor and public-information manager for the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission in Portland, co-founded and managed Salmon Corps, and was the former national parks expert for Friends of the Earth. He also started the campaign for a Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, and his land donation is now the Franz Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
“Chuck” means “river” in Chinook Wawa. In 2007, Chuck Williams wrote, “undammed rivers are not only important to me personally, but also seem like an appropriate symbol of the enduring River People.” Throughout his life, Williams was a dedicated advocate for the rights of Indigenous Peoples of the Columbia River Gorge area. His core values informed his artistic and professional endeavors. As a part of his activism, he created art that celebrated and supported the River People, while also educating the broader community about important issues.
For much of his life Williams was based in The Dalles area in Oregon, and by virtue of his work as a professional photographer, he attended events, festivals, and celebrations predominantly in Oregon and Washington. He sought out opportunities to document these events and his career flourished; in time, several organizations invited him to be one of their official photographers.
In 1994, Williams opened his gallery, The Columbia Gorge Gallery, which was located in downtown The Dalles, Oregon. He exhibited his own photographs, along with the works of other artists. While the Gallery was a space for people to see his work, Williams also participated in community activities in order to reach a wider audience. He gave lectures and slide shows for speaker series and special events, and his photography was shown in numerous museums and galleries, predominately in Oregon.
After the success of the Gallery’s first exhibit, “Photographs of Celilo Falls by the Elite Studio,” Williams created a companion calendar in 1996 that featured selected images from the exhibit; he published another calendar in 2008. In the introduction to the 1996 calendar Williams wrote, “I hope this calendar will remind people of what was lost by our taming of the great river and will help the river Indian community of which I am a part flourish.”
Williams published the book Bridge of the Gods, Mountains of Fire: A Return to the Columbia Gorge in 1980. In the book, he combined traditional Indigenous stories, his own ancestry, and historical and geological records. Williams complimented the historical images with his own contemporary photographs, effectively bridging past and present controversies in the Gorge.
In 2015, Williams was diagnosed with lung cancer, and he passed away on April 24, 2016.

The collection materials include documentation that Williams used to support his work as a photographer, including a sampling of photography related artifacts, materials relating to Williams’ 1980 book Bridge of the Gods, Mountains of Fire: A Return to the Columbia Gorge, and contents from his personal life and activities.
A large portion of the collection documents the activities of Native American communities in the Pacific Northwest during the 1990s-2000s. The materials pertain to Indigenous communities’ health services, the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, various committees and councils, as well as community, cultural and recreational events organized by tribal communities. The tribal communities represented include: the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community, the Klamath Tribes, the Nez Perce Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Indigenous communities within the Wapato Valley, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, and the Yakama Nation.
Williams traveled across the Pacific Northwest documenting various community events and cultural celebrations. The collection includes photographs from environmental protests and demonstrations, heritage-based events and celebrations featuring African, Asian, Pacific Islander, European, Latinx, and Caribbean communities, and events showing LGBTQIA+ pride in the Portland, Oregon area. Also included are images of events celebrating art and artistic expression, mostly music, but also the visual arts, crafts, dancing. The collection also includes photos of events and fairs focused on an agricultural harvest or food, as well as a variety of events documenting street fairs, holiday celebrations, and visits from prominent public figures.
Williams documented the outdoors and traveled across the United States as well as internationally. The collection includes scenic photos and outdoor activities within the state of Oregon, Williams’ photographs of over 50 of the United States’ national parks, preserves, and monuments, and a wide array of documentation of his domestic and international travels.
The collection also includes a set of unidentified portraits, landscapes, and events taken by Williams, as well as the work and related information Williams gathered pertaining to the work of photographer Wilma Roberts (1914-2014).

Series 1
Photographer's Documents
1982-2016
240 slides, 40 posters
Series 1 is made up mainly of textual documents that Williams used to support his work as a photographer. Included in the collection is a handwritten index listing the events photographed with a corresponding alphanumeric code used to label the slides. Other representations of his indexing process include notes kept on scraps of paper and in notebooks as well as finalized lists of events. He also collected correspondence, budgetary documents, photo releases, and a significant number of promotional materials from events he attended. His own promotional endeavors are represented by his business cards and biographical materials such as his curricula vitae. There are also representations of his work that came from his photography such as his calendars, exhibitions, presentations/manuscripts, and a poster for one of his books, Mount St. Helens, A Changing Landscape. Some of Williams’ projects were informed and rounded out by photography that was not his own, but instead came from the Oregon Historical Society and Columbia River Gorge Archives.

Wilma Roberts
1987-2014
17 prints, 3 negatives
Series 16 contains the work and related information of another photographer, Wilma Roberts (1914-2014). Roberts also maintained a gallery in The Dalles, Oregon. She specialized in the scenery of the Mid-Columbia area and hand-coloring antique photos of Celilo Falls. As documented in the correspondence between Williams and Roberts, it is evident that the exchange of their works was common, and some of her photographs that Williams collected are preserved here. He also collected articles about her found in the local newspaper.
