  • 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.

  • Day 2-Salt Lake City, Utah
    Youth Tour 2015 Day 1 – Los Angeles, CA Reporters: Maleah McCullough and Tony Taylor Devotion: Mark 16:15 Day 1 of our trip started with hugs and kisses goodbye from our parents. We got on the road at 7:10 am and was on our way to the Hoover Dam in Boulder City, Nevada. It was 11:32 am when we actually arrived in Nevada. Before we visited the Dam, we pulled into the Hoover Dam Lodge to unload our luggage. Our bus was not allowed to drive into Hoover Dam with luggage for safety reasons. After we unloaded everything at the Hoover Dam Lodge, we left for the power plant tour. There we learned lots of information about how important the Hoover Dam is. We also learned how it was built. Our tour guide, Zane, taught us what goes on in the four tunnels 54 stories underground. He also displayed to us electricity generators that are approximately 70 feet tall. After the tour, we visited an exhibit that showed us everything we needed to know about the Hoover Dam. The Dam was built during the Great Depression. Over 3500 workers arrived from different parts of the United States. It took 5 years to complete. We learned that the workers had 3 shifts for 363 days with only 2 holidays off. Lake Mead is the largest man made lake in the United States and helps generate electricity to the entire Southwest Region. After generating electricity the water is released to the Colorado River. Hoover Dam sits in between the borders of Arizona and Nevada.
