Looking for Primary Sources for Your NHD Topic?




Visit the Wyoming Newspaper Project This resource provides invaluable information about state and national events between 1849 and 1922
Discover the stories that formed Wyoming, through the Wyoming Newspaper Project. For the sheer volume of information they contain, newspapers are the single most important printed record of human activity. Historians, genealogists, and other scholars rely on them to provide a first-hand and sometimes the only account of local news.

Available through the website are all the newspapers printed in Wyoming between 1849 and 1922, in an easily searchable format.  More than 800,000 newspaper pages have been converted from microfilm to a digital format. Using the links on the left, you can browse the entire collection or search for newspapers from specified towns or counties, on certain dates, or by a specific title. The text is searchable, providing news articles, news briefs, obituaries and other items of interest.
