Collection contains nearly 2,000 copies of photographs (originals dating 1850-1995, bulk 1840-1975) that Dr. Ellsworth collected for his research on Utah history. Images include a wide range of topics, including artistic conceptions of prehistoric Utah, the founding of the LDS Church, Utah's multiple ethnic and religious groups, and early Native Americans in Utah (including photographs taken by Jack Hillers during John Wesley Powell's expedition). A number of the images relate to the economic and technological developments in urban and rural Utah including mining, business, railroads, communications, and education. Also includes numerous geographical and geological photographs and maps of Utah and the United States from the 17th, 18th, and 19th century. Finally, there are some of Ellsworth's personal photographs of his extended family.
