  • Guide to Women's History Resources at the American Heritage Center
    GUIDE TO WOMEN'S HISTORY RESOURCES AT THE AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER "'You know out in Wyoming we have had woman suffrage for fifty years and there is no such thing as an anti-suffrage man in our state -- much less a woman.'" Grace Raymond Hebard, quoted in the New York Tribune, May 2, 1920. Compiled By Jennifer King, Mark L. Shelstad, Carol Bowers, and D. C. Thompson 2006 Edited By Robyn Goforth (2009), Tyler Eastman (2012) PREFACE The American Heritage Center holdings include a wealth of material on women's issues as well as numerous collections from women who gained prominence in national and regional affairs. The AHC, part of the University of Wyoming (the only university in the "Equality State") continues a long tradition of collecting significant materials in these areas. The first great collector of materials at the University, Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, was herself an important figure in the national suffrage movement, as materials in her collection indicate. Hebard's successors continued such accessions, even at times when many other repositories were focusing their attentions on "the great men." For instance, they collected diaries of Oregon Trail travelers and accounts of life when Wyoming was even more of a frontier than it is today. Another woman, Lola Homsher, was the first formally designated University archivist and her efforts to gain materials from and about women accelerated during the service of Dean Krakel, Dr. Gene Gressley, and present director Dr. Michael Devine. As a result of this work, the AHC collections now contain the papers of pioneering women in the fields of journalism, film, environmental activism, literature, and politics, among other endeavors.

    AP PHOTO/JEFF ROBERSON PHOTO/JEFF AP Stolen Guns in America A State-by-State Analysis By Chelsea Parsons and Eugenio Weigend Vargas July 2017 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Stolen Guns in America A State-by-State Analysis By Chelsea Parsons and Eugenio Weigend Vargas July 2017 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 3 Stolen guns pose substantial risks to public safety 10 Enforcement and policy approaches to reducing gun theft 14 Conclusion 15 Appendix 24 About the authors 25 Endnotes Introduction and summary In the early morning hours of July 5, 2017, New York Police Department officer Miosotis Familia was ambushed as she sat in a marked NYPD command truck with her partner while providing additional security to a Bronx neighborhood after Fourth of July festivities. In an attack that police officials described as an assassina- tion, Officer Familia was fatally shot in the head with a gun that had been stolen in Charleston, West Virginia, four years earlier.1 Less than a month earlier on the other side of the country, a UPS driver in San Francisco shot and killed three co-workers and injured two others using a gun that had been stolen in Utah. The shooter was also armed with a gun that had been stolen in Napa County, California.2 Stolen guns pose a significant risk to community safety. Whether stolen from a gun store or an individual gun owner’s collection, these guns often head straight into the illegal underground gun market, where they are sold, traded, and used to facilitate violent crimes. Gun theft is not a minor problem in the United States.
