Petroleum industry Collections 20th century, late 21st century United States American Heritage Center

The American Heritage Center (AHC) is the University of Wyoming’s repository of manuscript collections, rare books, and the university archives. Open to the public and featuring more than 3000 archival collections, many with national and international importance, the holdings include more than five-hundred collections related to economic geology, ranging from personal papers to corporate records and including oil, gas, and mining related topics. This paper introduces the AHC and highlights some of the Center’s prominent collections in these subjects, describes the grant programs available to our researchers, and provides an overview of how to identify and locate these collections including practical information for conducting on-site research, using online resources, and coordinating with the reference department long-distance for those patrons unable to visit on-site. The Center’s two recent Wyoming oral history programs, one to document the social, environmental, and economic impacts of the natural gas boom in Sublette County, and a second to document the potential oil boom in communities within the Niobrara Shale Formation, are also introduced.
