Hill Collection of approximately 27,000 items including color transparencies, negatives, and prints, Heather Sonntag sees Ron Hill as “the whole rail-fan package.” Join us to hear how Heather first learned about railroad photography through Ron’s impeccable camera work that spans sixty years from 1957 to 2018. She provides an overview of Ron’s long career in heritage train preservation, book publishing, darkroom printing, and railfanning. Also focusing on his color slides, Heather showcases Ron’s tremendous “roadside railroad photography” from the Center’s Visual Heritage Archive, celebrating the many zingers along the mainlines and narrow gauge tracks in Ron’s beloved Rocky Mountain West and elsewhere across North America. Heather Sonntag joined the Center in 2020 as an associate archivist. She holds a doctorate in cultural history with a focus on 19th-century photography albums and a master’s of library and information studies from UW-Madison. She has interned with the Library of Congress and also works as an assistant archivist of visual materials at the Wisconsin Historical Society.
