PBA Galleries

Comprises approximately 300 original photographs, mostly 8x10”, about 20 larger, mostly black and white, a relatively small number in color. There is some duplication. 

Historically significant and revealing archive of photographs of Ronald Reagan, two-term Governor of California and two term President of the United States, and a star of the silver screen before that. Included are photographs taken during his campaigns for both offices, as well as during his service in Sacramento as governor and brief respites from Washington while president. Many of the photographs feature Nancy Reagan as well. Walt Zeboski began his three-decade career as an AP photographer in 1966, just as Reagan was campaigning for the governorship of California, and was to continue his coverage of the conservative icon for the next 20 years, gaining renown for his photographs of the successful 1980 quest for the presidency. He covered all aspects of Reagan's life on the presidential campaign trail, and  captured quiet moments of Reagan and his wife, Nancy, on horseback at their ranch north of Santa Barbara and aboard a campaign plane. A truly remarkable and valuable archive.
