MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 2019
Monthly Luncheon, 11:30 a.m.
GRAND BALLROOM, LITTLE AMERICA HOTEL, CHEYENNE, WY
GUEST SPEAKER: MR. RICK EWIG
During World War I, Wyoming State government
led an effort to document the state's experiences
during the war-both in the state as well as the experiences
of those who served overseas.
The leadership for this effort fell to Wyoming's
newly appointed state historian, Eunice Anderson.
She was the first person to serve as state historian.
Anderson mobilized women around Wyoming
to assist with this initiative.
Unfortunately, the state legislature never provided funding
for such an effort; although, many other states provided
funding for like attempts. Even without any funding,
there were some successes, as documented in the
Anderson Papers in the Wyoming State Archives.
Through such efforts, it is recognized that oftentimes
women led the endeavor to collect and preserve
the history of Wyoming.
