Historical Note

Westerners International was formed in 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, by a group who held a common interest in discovering and understanding the American West. The Wyoming Corral was founded in May 1953, as a statewide organization, but discontinued around 1956. In 1971 the Laramie Corral was established, drawing its membership from Albany County. The Laramie Corral was active until 1978.

Content Description

The Westerners Laramie Corral collection contains miscellaneous operating records of the Laramie Corral and its predecessor, the Wyoming Corral of the Westerners.

Also included are approximately 70 audio cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes by local historians and pioneers describing the early history of Albany County, Wyoming. These tapes were assembled by Dr. Robert H. Burns and were donated as the “Robert H. Burns Memorial Collection” in 1975.
