Through its 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 September. Nomination forms must be received no later than April 30, 2023, except for the Youth Awards, which are due on or before June 1.
