 History of the Wyoming Wilderness Association History Project

The Wyoming Wilderness Association was a statewide environmental educational organization dedicated to protecting public wild lands for people and wildlife. Leila Bruno and Broughton Coburn were the principal people on the association's history project committee to write the book, "Ahead of Their Time". The book was to be the story of the Wyoming people who were responsible for the Wyoming Wilderness Acts of 1964 and 1984.

 Scope and Content

Collection contains interviews for the Wyoming Wilderness History Project with Wyoming people such as outfitters, ranchers, teachers, and Native Americans (2004). The interviewers were people the association enlisted to interview environmentalists who lived near them. There are audio cassettes of radio interviews of Leila Bruno and Anna Kock, and interviews of the environmentalists. There is material about the outcome of the interviews, photographs, and digital copies on CDs of all historical photographs (2004). There are also files regarding a tour of Laramie Peak for a wilderness proposal (1970), files on the U.S. Forest Service, the Wilderness Society, and the Wyoming Outdoor Council (2004), files regarding congressional hearings about land use from the 1930s, a book "Ahead of Their Time" edited by Leila Bruno and Broughton Coburn (2004), correspondence, publications, photographs, video, reports, newspaper clippings, and legislation files regarding the work and operations of the Wyoming Wilderness Association.
