On December 21st, 1864, Francis M. Thompson introduced into the Territorial legislature,
Council Bill 15 to incorporate the Historical Society of Montana, as a private organization.
The purpose of the Society was “…to collect and arrange facts in regard to the early history
of this Territory…." The bill was signed into law on February 2, 1865. The Society held its
first organizational meeting later that month. Among the incorporators were Granville
Stuart, H. L. Hosmer, C. P. Higgins, John Owens, and W. F. Sanders. The Society membership
was limited to a few prominent Montana pioneers, who had to be elected by unanimous election
by the members.
The Society began collecting reminiscences and other memorabilia of the early pioneers.
Tragically, these collections burned in the disastrous 1874 fire in downtown Helena.
Immediately after the fire, the Society contacted many of the original pioneers and obtained
replacement reminiscences, diaries, and letters. They also began the intensive collection of
the territory’s newspapers, publications of government expeditions, artifacts, and other
items of interest. The collections were housed in the Lewis and Clark County Courthouse from
1886 until the completion of the new Capitol building in 1902.
The early history of the Society was one of a gradual increase in government involvement.
In 1873 the legislature appropriated $150 to buy additional manuscripts and books. By 1887
the Territory was paying rent for housing the library and the salary of the librarian. In
1891 the collections were officially transferred to State control. And two years later the
Governor was given the authority to appoint the Board of Trustees. In 1895 the legislature
changed the name to “The Historical and Miscellaneous Library”. This name was retained until
the 1923 legislature restored the original name. Finally in 1963 the name was changed to its
present Montana Historical Society.
A separate building for the Society was planned as early as the mid 1920s, but the
Depression, World War II, and other factors delayed the building until 1953 when the
Veterans and Pioneers Building was completed. In 1951 K. Ross Toole was hired as the first
professional director. His major task was to plan for the new building, and the varied
programs which it would enable. Among these programs were a formal museum, art galleries,
the library, and a magazine.
The Research Center, now Library & Archives, includes the Library, the Archives, the
Photograph Archives, and the Oral History Program. Prior to the hiring of K. Ross Toole as
Director in 1951, the Librarian also functioned as the administrative head of the Society.
In 1969, the Library was named the official State Archives. A Photograph Curator was first
hired in the early 1970s to maintain and catalog the large collection of photographs. In
1977, the Archives and Photo Archives separated from the Library, but returned to form the
Library/Archives Division in the mid 1980s. This Division was renamed the Research Center in
2004 and then Library & Archives in 2022.
Library subgroup includes general correspondence (1874-2003), and outgoing correspondence
(1803-1901) predominantly with researchers and donors. Some of the letters include lengthy
reminiscences and discussions of historical events. In addition, there are financial records
(1870-1956); legal documents (1873-1976) minutes (1874 re the publication of the first
volume of the Contributions series; organizational records (1950-1976) including position
descriptions, procedures, rules, etc.; a Library Bulletin; (1907-1908) biennial reports
(1905-1968); subject files (1928-1997); miscellany, including scrapbooks (1878-1912)
compiled by the Library containing letters, and writings concerning historical events and
people, political campaigns, etc., and visitor registers (1898-1952); and scrapbooks
(1898-1912) of clippings concerning political campaigns and platforms.
The Archives subgroup includes general correspondence (1969-1902); press releases
(1969-1988); reports (1972-1995), including Gerald Ham’s report (1972) on the condition of
the Archives, a report (1982) on an historical records survey, and a report (1986) on a
local government records survey; and subject files (1957-2003).
The Photograph Archives subgroup includes general correspondence (1974-2003), predominantly
with researchers and donors. The bulk of the correspondence consists of requests for prints,
and permissions to publish. In addition there is a subject file concerning photo displays
and grants.
The Oral History subgroup includes interoffice correspondence (1990-1993); general
correspondence (1972-1993); legal documents (1982-1992); files on methodology; project files
(1981-2005); project resource files; quarterly reports (1884-1992); subject files; writings;
and miscellany.
The Library/Archives Division and Research Center subgroup contains materials concerning
the program as a whole. Included are interoffice correspondence (1973-2003); general
correspondence (1973-2001); financial records (1986-2000); minutes of program managers
meetings (1984-2004) and staff meetings (1991-1998); organizational records (1989),
consisting of alternative organizational plans; reports (1962-1997), including quarterly
reports and reports to the Board of Trustees; subject files (1969-2005); and miscellany.
This collection is arranged by subgroup and series.
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.
