Welcome
to the Official Web Site of the
Wyoming
State Historical Society
The
Wyoming State Historical Society began in 1953 and provides
direction and support for historical research and preservation in
Wyoming. Made up of members across Wyoming, as well as from
outside the borders of Wyoming and the United States, the Society
is open to any individual interested in history of Wyoming and
the West.
The Wyoming State Historical Society Web site
opened in November 2000 and has been an information resource for
Wyoming history ever since. The site is experiencing over 15,000
visitors per month. The Society proudly offers this Web site to
better serve and inform its members and to provide an avenue for
education in Wyoming history.
  The
Wyoming State Historical Society's contribution to the Western
Trails Project
includes essays explaining the scope and importance of the
westward migration, digitization of trails articles from the
Annals of Wyoming, paintings by Dave Paulley that record historic
trail scenes, landscape scenes by Ryan Bench from along the
Oregon Trail in Wyoming and the L. C. Bishop Emigrant Trail Map
Series, a collection of original maps of many of Wyoming's
emigrant trails.
The Wyoming State Historical Society
boasts several outstanding pages on its Web site, and a visitor
to this site should visit them. The Publications
page, is a listing of publications from the Wyoming State
Historical Society, Society members, historical calendars,
historical maps, and publications from winners in the Society
Awards
Program.
