Wyoming State Historical Society

Located in Cheyenne, the Wyoming State Historical Society was created in 1953. It provides direction and support for historical research and preservation in Wyoming. Made up of members from across the Wyoming, as well as from outside the borders of the state and even the country, the Society is open to any individual interested in the history of Wyoming and the West.

Wyoming Western Trails Project. The Wyoming State Historical Society gets involved in many projects. One of them is the Western Trails Project, which proposes to bring together several Western states in a collaborative digitization endeavor. It will include a mixture of archives, historical societies, libraries and museums from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming. These four states share common borders, common heritage and common customs. The Wyoming State Library is the lead institution for Wyoming and several other Wyoming libraries, museums, and other historically oriented institutions are participating.
