Through its prestigious awards program the Wyoming Historical Society seeks to encourage and recognize efforts to preserve Wyoming history. Candidates for awards have written, published, and copyrighted works pertaining to the history of Wyoming or have made significant contributions in historical compilations for which adequate publisher markets do not exist.
The awards program also recognizes significant contributions in numerous other areas of historical activity.
Awards are presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society each Fall. The 2026 Awards Manual will be available by December 31, 2025.
Nomination forms and complete details of the awards may also be obtained through the WHS Central Office by emailing info@wyshs.org, or calling 307.322.3014 for more information.
You do not have to be a member of the Wyoming Historical Society in order to be nominated for an award or to submit a nomination.
