Description
The Bruce H. Thompson and Connie F. Bryant Collection is made up of 11 series containing digital scans of print photographs of Wyoming locations, businesses, industries, family photographs, groups, organizations, and events. The majority of the images refer to Casper, Wyoming, in connection with local photographer Fred A. Villnave. Their exact chain of custody is not known, and the collection may contain copies of photographs found in other collections. The negatives/images were brought to the Western History Center for scanning in 2003 but are not physically in the repository's special collections. The majority of the collection is stored digitally and available almost exclusively in electronic format.
