Upscaled scanning operations are making materials available to patrons.

Photo services continue unchanged.

If you wish to consult with a reference archivist, please let us know and we can arrange a phone call or Zoom meeting. Since many of our staff are working remotely, the easiest way to contact Reference services is by email at AHCRef@uwyo.edu. This email is checked several times a day. You can also call 307-766-3756 and leave a message.
