The Wyoming Folklife Archive
The Archive Collections
The Wyoming Folk Art Archive, 1977-1993, contains more than 5,500 color slides, 260 audiotapes, 200 photographs, hundreds of manuscript files, and video tapes, which document the rich heritage of folk arts and culture in Wyoming.
The collection represents a comprehensive survey of Wyoming's folk
artisans and ethnic traditions. The collection also contains some
materials which document the folk art environments and traditions in
other states in the Rocky Mountain Region. There are some photographic
materials which document various examples of non-folk architecture.
The primary collector and photographer of the Wyoming Folk Art Archive
Project was Tim H. Evans, Folk Arts Coordinator, American Studies
Program, University of Wyoming.
