the library
The Library houses much of the Program's video collection, the latest in American Studies literature, and a variety of journals and useful publications. This is also where completed masters' theses find their home.
Student Projects
The Visual Landscape of the Vietnam Veteran
"I can remember, as a child, carefully looking through my father's photographs from Vietnam, holding them by the edges only and paying close attention to the order of images piled in the small storage box."
The Landscape Overheard: Campuses,
Conversations, and Cultures at The University of Wyoming
"What we offer here, then, is not a history of the
University of Wyoming campus, nor is it a tour nor an advertisement. Rather,
it is a body of interpretive reading, much of it in purely visual and we
hope entertaining form. Our goal is to open up one cultural landscape for
public inspection."
Laramie in Layers: A Material Culture Study
"The underlying premise is that objects made or modified by
man reflect, consciously or unconsciously, directly or indirectly, the
beliefs of the individuals who made, commissioned, purchased, or used them
and, by extension, the beliefs of the larger society to which they
belonged."
The American Studies Electronic Crossroads Project
An extensive resource for those interested in the field of American Studies
