The Roving Archivist Program
The Roving Archivist Program
Starting as 2020, the Wyoming State Historic Records Advisory Board (WY SHRAB) received funding to launch the first phase of a multi-phase project to establish a Roving Archivist Program (RAP). The goal of the program to empower cultural heritage institutions by connecting them with trained archival professionals, offering expert advice and support for the effective management and preservation of historical records. Now in it's operational phase, the roving archivist connects resources to the institutions of Wyoming. Please feel free to explore the program and the various points of connection through their website!

Considering a digitization project or community scanning event but need equipment? Is there a member of your community who has extensive knowledge that you want to capture as an oral history? We are here to help!

Kits may be loaned for 3 months at a time, with the option to extend for another 3 months if the kit is not spoken for.
These toolkits are provided by the Wyoming State Records Advisory Board (SHRAB) and Wyoming State Archives. The toolkits were supported in part by an award from the SHRAB, through funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), National Archives and Records Administration.
We hope you have as much fun using them as we did planning them!
