Wallace Stegner
Stegner graduated from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in 1930 and also taught here for a year. The collection housed here is largely a repository for photographs taken of the author and the people and events associated with him.
His first important novel was Big Rock Candy Mountain, but he is also recognized for his environmental activism. The University’s College of Law even has a Center for Land, Resources and the Environment named after him.
