Wyoming’s museums, historical societies, archives and cultural heritage institutions can access free, professional archival expertise through the Wyoming Roving Archivist Program.

The program is welcoming Morgan Stence as the new roving archivist, ready to visit institutions across the state to help preserve and share Wyoming’s irreplaceable historical collections.

“We know that many of Wyoming’s cultural heritage institutions want to better care for their collection, but may not know where to start or lack the resources for professional consultation,” Marcie Blaylock, reference historian and archivist for the Wyoming State Archives, said in a news release. “The Roving Archivist Program brings that expertise directly to you — at no cost to your institution.”

The program offers comprehensive, on-site assessments that help institutions understand their collections’ needs and develop realistic improvement plans.

Applications are now open, and institutions across Wyoming are encouraged to apply. The program serves museums, historical societies, archives, libraries with special collections, tribal cultural centers and any organization caring for historical materials.
