As we at the Western History Center at Casper College are preparing for a new spring exhibit GLAM: "The West: Past, Present, and Future", featuring the Johnson County War, we are hoping to collaborate with local Wyoming institutions as we frame the event and any related civic themes. In the course of our collections review, we recently discovered two copies of a photograph depicting a hay wagon battering ram constructed during the Johnson County War as well as a note alongside the two images. We were intrigued by the connection of the images to the war and wanted to reach out to you directly. This upcoming spring, we are working to launch an exhibit that seeks to deepen public understanding and reflection around Wyoming’s past. Our goal is to foster thoughtful engagement with the historical event, any tensions, and community impacts raised by events like the Johnson County War. In the spirit of our goal, we are open to and hopeful for any opportunity to collaborate with your institution for our upcoming exhibit. We are writing to inquire about the possibility of including a copy of the battering ram photograph in our spring exhibit, with appropriate accreditation and acknowledgement to your institution? If so, we would also value any contextual information you have available on the material so that we may be able to present the photographs in a way that aligns with, and honors, your work. Thank you for your consideration on this request, and we look forward to any opportunity to build connections between our institutions and contribute to a deepened public conversation about Wyoming’s past. Best regards, Libby Baker, The Western History Center. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I’m a spring semester intern working under the supervision of Hanz Olson, and this project is a part of my training in collections management and civic-oriented interpretation. Thus far we have made progress on recording and preparing images from the Charles “Chuck” Morrison collection, and several other collections, in preparation for the upcoming GLAM exhibit: "The West: Past, Present, and Future". As we at the center continue refining the installation, we want to be sure that it aligns thoughtfully with broader statewide interpretive efforts. We were wondering if it would be possible to view or briefly discuss your interpretive plan or key themes for the Johnson County War or related civic-engagement work? Our aim is to ensure that this installation complements– not contradicts– ongoing programming and priorities. I would also like to inquire as to whether it would be acceptable to add two interpretive panels above the installation, connected visually with a two-way arrow between them. We are hoping to pair an artifact drawn from your interpretive framework with one from our own selection to highlight dialogue between perspectives. Additionally, to my previous requests, we were wondering if it would be possible for possibly several members of the center and myself to visit the State Museum to assess your exhibit featuring the event? Those of us at the center would value the opportunity to better understand your interpretive approach and explore ways to further collaborate or align this installation with your work. I would also like to recognize your leadership in civic programming initiatives such your Civic Season Programming initiative, the monthly Family Days, and educational outreach initiatives. Furthermore, if there is preferred language or framing you recommend when connecting historical interpretation to civic participation/engagement today, I would greatly value your input. Thank you greatly for your time, and I would be happy to further discuss whenever convenient. Best regards, Libby Baker, The Western History Center. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Moving beyond "how to find a box" to building "archival awareness," students are taught to evaluate and use primary sources through a variety of modes—curatorial curiosity, experiential learning, and/or use of a traditional reading room. • Collection and Resource Use: Development of an "Anchored Collections Series" creates a predictable, stable foundation for faculty to build into their semester-long syllabi using both primary and secondary sources. A synergy between contributions to campus partnerships such as its GLAM Initiative and Humanities Festival is maintained with the goal of facilitating student and community engagement. Integration for what can be inconsistent access to local papers is coordinated by a library-wide access model as well. • Digital Preservation & Collection Access: Apprenticeship and Shadowing experiences exist for students that ensure collection data is discoverable via platforms like the center’s Collection Management System (CMS) and Digital Asset Management System (DAMS). Having no current mapping of collection finding aids to the library catalog, materials in the DAMS may be accessible through the Digital Public Library of America via a strategic partnership with Colorado Virtual Libraries. • Public Programming & Outreach: Includes "associational" events such as proposed screenings of documentaries that feature use of collections and Museum Studies internship-led events that serve as catalysts for agile engagement with Casper College student clubs. A partnership with the Supervisor of Exhibits and Programming at the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne has also been established. Casper College Goodstein Foundation Library Western History Center 125 College Drive, Casper, Wyoming 82601 �• University Extension Liaison Support: An extension partnership requires a specialized tier of reference support. While Casper College students may focus on "experiential learning," extension students may require higher-level reference for capstones or dissertations, as seen with dissertation-level research on Irish immigrant communities in Casper and the college’s former mountaineering club.
