Please see the primary finding aid for more Montana Department of Transportation records. These records of the Montana Aeronautics Commission (now named Aeronautic Board) consist of correspondence, minutes, reports, and subject files. There are also records for the Montana Aviation History Project, headed by Frank W. Wiley, consisting of research materials used in compiling the book Montana and the Air, a history of Montana's aviation industry and aviation pioneers.

The Montana Aeronautics Commission was established in 1945 by the State Aeronautical Regulatory Act, to supervise the aeronautics industry in the state and to encourage the development of aeronautics by supporting the building of local airports and air navigation facilities. In 1963, the Commission set up the Montana Aviation History Project to research the history of flight in Montana. The project resulted in the publication of Montana and the Sky, by Frank Wiley. As of 2024, the Aeronautics Commission, now named Aeronautics Board, operates in an advisory capacity to the Department of Transportation.

Records include the director's outgoing correspondence (1946-1961) and general correspondence (1945-1964); general correspondence with Commission members, the Congressional delegation, and others; financial records consisting of registration books for pilots and planes (1947-1961); yearly budgets (1945-1950); minutes (1945-1966); monthly and annual reports to the governor (1946-1967); a subject file (1946-1967) on accidents, legislation, organizations, search and rescue operations, violations of regulations, and other matters. There is a subgroup for the Montana Aviation History Project, consisting primarily of biographical sketches of pioneer pilots.

The collection is arranged by series.

Collection open for research.

Researchers must use collection in accordance with the policies of the Montana Historical Society. The Society does not necessarily hold copyright to all materials in the collection. In some cases permission for use may require additional authorization from the copyright owners. For more information contact an archivist.

In 2024, the various collections of the Montana Department of Transportation were integrated under one collection identifier, RS 492, in order to help facilitate access, reduce redundancy in the MTHS catalog, and to follow best archival practices.

Collections from Montana Department of Transportation's various Divisions and Bureaus that were previously treated as separate entities are now integrated into this collection, RS 492. Rather than reprocessing over 300 linear feet of Transportation 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.
