About the Cheramy Collection
This collection was donated by Ed and Shirley Cheramy of Jackson, Wyoming in 2008. Split between the Toppan Library of the American Heritage Center and Special Collections, the collection includes published works (books, articles, and government publications) that detail American Indian history from the 19th and 20th centuries. Much of the material relates to the history of the Plains Indians, with a strong focus on the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes.
It covers diverse subjects such as American Indian Photographs and Portraits, Religion, Music, Language, Art, American Indian Wars, and U.S. Government Relations. The bulk of the materials not only narrate the historical events but also provide a nuanced understanding of the cultural nuances, traditions, and challenges faced by the communities during this period.
