WyoHistory.org, a project of the Wyoming Historical Society, was founded in 2010 by the Society and by Project Director Tom Rea, with oversight of an enthusiastic advisory board.
The website first went live online in May 2011.
Mission
WyoHistory.org encourages exploration of Wyoming and its past by building and maintaining a permanent, interactive encyclopedia of Wyoming history as an ongoing project of the Wyoming Historical Society.
Vision
WyoHistory.org aims to be the primary source of online information about Wyoming history for the public, including teachers, students, tourists, public officials, history buffs and scholars. WyoHistory.org seeks readers’ feedback as it continues to add high-quality articles and information about local resources, activities and events.
