The core of the William Hill collection is his photographs of the process of the construction and the celebration of the Alexander Calder monumental stable, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, La Grande Vitesse.

Some additional images and information relate to Hill's work with the “Big Red Thing” project at Grand Valley State University. Also, a few biographical items related to Hill have been added.

The native form of the images in the collection are the slides given by Hill. Copy prints made from these slides, by Corporate Color photo studio or using in house digital capabilities at the Library, provide larger views. Several of these were made for use in the 30th anniversary exhibit of the sculpture “Celebrating La Grande Vitesse : 35 Years on the Plaza.”
