The Institute of the American West was a non-profit educational organization established in 1974. It was originally designated the Humanities Division of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts and Humanities in Sun Valley, Idaho. In 1978, E. Richard Hart became director of the Institute, a position he held through 1984.

The collection contains photographs, negatives and proof sheets for the conferences and other activities of the Institute. The major conferences, held annually, were successful from their inception. Much of the photograph collection documents the planning, execution, and follow-up of the events and the use made of the materials generated by the conferences, i.e., broadcasts and publications. Also included are pictures of Institute Advisory Board members, participants, and program leaders. These papers were donated to the University of Utah by E. Richard Hart in 1984 and 1985, with additional materials arriving on a steady basis.
