The Montana Historical Society’s Research Historian position was established in 1993 to
“provide verification, research, writing, and editing for projects and publications by the
Society and cooperating agencies.” The position also served as a representative of the
Society at public events, conducted radio and television interviews, and served as a
historical consultant.
Major projects undertaken by the office included serving as the Society’s consultant with
the Montana Heritage Project, the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Advisory Council (later
renamed the Montana Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission), and the Virginia City/Nevada
City Task Force, along with writing and editing text for the Montana history textbook for
middle school students, editing interpretive script for museum exhibits, and writing
biographical sketches for the “Capital Niches” and nominees for Trustees Awards.
Dave Walter was Montana Historical Society's first Research Historian. He was born in
Racine, Wisconsin in 1943 and graduated from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut
in 1965. He then entered the University of Montana as a graduate student, where he worked
closely with historian K. Ross Toole, taught undergraduate history classes, and developed
educational materials for schools. In 1979, he was hired as a Reference Librarian at the
Montana Historical Society and in 1993, he became the first Research Historian at MTHS. In
1994, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Montana.
Additionally, Walter had a regular history column in
Montana,
Magazine of the Northern Rockies and the Helena Independent
Record. He wrote numerous articles for other publications, including Montana, the Magazine of Western History. Walter also initiated
and moderated the “Jerks in Montana History : Speaking Ill of the Dead” session at the
annual Montana History Conference and the "More Quarries of Last Chance Gulch" column in the
Helena Independent Record, both of which became published
books. He also wrote Christmastime in Montana and Campfire Tales, among other books. Walter conducted many oral
history interviews, including a series of interviews on conscientious objectors during World
War II, and co-authored Speaking of Montana, a guide to oral
histories at the Montana Historical Society. Dave Walter died July 19, 2006.
Records consists primarily of general correspondence (1989-2006) and subject files
(1979-2006). Correspondence is arranged chronologically and covers a wide range of Dave’s
work, including his work on committees and his contacts with researchers.
The most substantive subject files concern the Capitol Niches (1979-2005), Legislative
Minutes (2001-2003), the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial (1995-2006), the Montana Heritage
Project (1994-2006), Museum exhibit planning, the Ortenberg Research Project on the Montana
Legislature (1997-2000), the Golden Triangle Curriculum Cooperative’s “Thinking Through
American History” project (2001-2005), the MHS Trustees’ Awards, and, and the Virginia City
/ Nevada City Task Force (1994-1997).
This collection is arranged into five series: 1) Biographical Materials, 2) General
Correspondence, 3) Subject Files, 4) Speeches and Writings, and 5) Miscellany.
Collection is open for research
The Montana Historical Society is the owner of the materials in the Library & Archives
and makes available reproductions for research, publication, and other uses. Written
permission must be obtained from the Library & Archives before any reproduction use. The
Society does not necessarily hold copyright to all of the materials in the collections. In
some cases, permission for use may require seeking additional authorization from the
copyright owners.
In 2024, the various collections of the Montana Historical Society were integrated under
one collection identifier, RS 499, in order to help facilitate access, reduce redundancy in
the MTHS catalog, and to follow best archival practices.
Collections from Montana Historical Society's Programs/Board that were previously treated
as separate entities are now integrated into this collection, RS
499. Rather than reprocessing over 90 linear feet of Historical Society materials,
MTHS staff decided to keep the past arrangement of those collections/finding aids, and
provide access to them via links through the central finding aid. This decision has allowed
the MTHS archival staff to maintain intellectual control over the collection, while removing
the need to reprocess it. It also keeps State Agency finding aids at manageable sizes.
Please read the scope and content note carefully to determine if this subgroup/sub-subgroup
pertains to your research needs.
