Frank Jay Haynes (1853-1921) made a tremendous record of Yellowstone Park in the 1880s returning often through the early 20^th Century.  Additionally, he operated successful portrait studios from the 1870s on.  He served as the Official Photographer of the Northern Pacific Railroad (1876-1905), making an extensive documentation of their line including locations, equipment and  the territories around them. He also recorded the same for the Canadian Pacific Railroad.  In 1884 he became the Official Photographer of Yellowstone National Park with a studio in Mammoth Hot Springs.  During his long career he worked in or held studios in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Wisconsin; Moorehead, Minnesota; Yellowstone Park; and ultimately St. Paul in 1889.  In the late 1880’s he operated his own photographic railroad car gallery called “Haynes Studio.”  In 1892, he and his brother, Fred E. Haynes dissolved their partnership with Frank continuing the business and Fred moving to Jacoby Studio. His photographs are featured in many publications about Yellowstone and other western locations including Canada and Alaska.
