Nellie Stockbridge (1868[1] – May 22, 1965) was an American photographer known for documenting life in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District in Idaho.

Over a career spanning more than 60 years, her work captured key aspects of the region’s social, cultural, and industrial history.

[2] Despite natural disasters such as fires and floods, Stockbridge continued her work, documenting significant aspects of life in Wallace until her death in 1965.

Her work often required extraordinary physical effort, as she carried her camera and tripod into underground mines and climbed steep mountains to obtain the best vantage points.

The Great Fire of 1910, which destroyed much of Wallace, did not burn the Barnard-Stockbridge studio, allowing her extensive photographic archive to be preserved.
