OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION

Extent: 4 boxes; 1.6 linear feet

Name of creator(s): Don Horter

Administrative/Biographical History:
Don Horter was a professional photographer and filmmaker in the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska. Between the mid-1940s and the mid-1960s, he did commercial photography and films
for several Alaska-based companies and governmental agencies, including Alaska Freight
Lines, Northern Consolidated Airlines, Pan American Airways, and Wien Airlines. He worked
with pilot Ray Petersen and the National Park Service to popularize sport fishing in Alaska,
primarily in Katmai National Park. His Alaskan films include Fish On (1948), Alaska (1952),
Bulldog Convoy in the Arctic (1955), Wheels to the Arctic (1955), Alaska: our pioneer heritage
(1956), and Angler's Paradise (1959). In 1959, Don and his son Eric started Don Horter
Productions in Oregon. Don Horter died in 1971 in Eugene, Oregon.

Shortly after the trip featured in these images, Petersen hired Horter to work on a public
relations campaign for Northern Consolidated Airlines and the Angler’s Paradise fishing camps.
