Historical Note
Around 1970 a Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office was formed as part of the new Wyoming Recreation Commission. On a largely volunteer basis, the State Historic Preservation Officer, Ned Frost, and others traveled around the state taking many photographs of historic sites. These photographs were used to assess possible historical preservation projects, and they were displayed in state publications. Some of the photographs may have been taken by the noted outdoor photographer, Randy Wagner, who later became head of the Wyoming Tourism Commission.
Content Description
The Wyoming historic buildings project records consist of photographic proof sheets, negatives, and architectural drawings of structures that were candidates for historical preservation. Additional copies of official and published items relate to the Tivoli Building in Cheyenne; and a notebook includes an incomplete and out of order photocopy of Conrad Hansen's memoirs of growing up near Woods Landing in Albany County, Wyoming.
