Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Wyoming Heritage and Contemporary Values Project was undertaken to collect oral histories from women in southeastern Wyoming in order to document women's lives and attitudes in the 20th century. The project was funded by the Wyoming Council for the Humanities and administered by the University of Wyoming's Department of Sociology. The interviewers were Patricia Hale, Melanie Gustafson, and Phil Roberts.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The collection contains transcripts of oral history interviews with women living in southeastern Wyoming, including the towns of Laramie, Cheyenne, and Wheatland, as well as smaller communities in the area. Included are professional women, ranch women, an African-American woman, and a Hispanic woman. The interviewers seek information on the women's attitudes about such issues as birth control, as well as stories of their lives.
