Thanx Dawn,
 
We're very excited about this.  Lesley and Erin spoke to our  genealogical 
society in February.  News of your going live went out to the  members today.
 
Thanx again.
 
Sue.

Discover  the stories that formed Wyoming with the Wyoming Newspaper Project

The  Wyoming State Library is making available to Web researchers full-text 
access  to the first set of historical Wyoming newspapers.  This project 
involves  digitizing a 70-year comprehensive statewide collection of Wyoming 
newspapers  from 1849 to 1922.    

This first collection release will  cover selected years, ranging from 1867 
to 1922, of over 200 titles such as  The Cheyenne Daily Leader, The Laramie 
Sentinel (weekly and daily), The  Natrona County Tribune, The South Pass News, 
The Torrington Telegram and The  Inter-Mountain Globe. These issues are now 
available at www.wyonewspapers.org.  Researchers can access the individual issues 
through keyword searching or  browsing through the collection by title, year, 
city or county.

Funding  for the project was made possible by the Wyoming Legislature, the 
support of  Governor Dave Freudenthal, and the Library Services and Technology 
Act federal  program. All of the metadata was created by residents of  Wyoming.
