- Collection Creator Biography:
Haynes
F. Jay Haynes (1853-1921) was a professional photographer who documented the settlement and expansion of the American Northwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Based in Minnesota and North Dakota, Haynes served as the official photographer for Northern Pacific Railway and Yellowstone National Park. Haynes first visited Yellowstone in 1881 and, a few years later in 1884, obtained permission to operate a photography studio there. He served as Yellowstone's official photographer from 1884 until 1920 when he was succeeded by his son, Jack Ellis Haynes (1884-1962).
