Welcome to the online collections of the American Heritage Center, including virtual exhibits, and digitized portions of collections.

1933 Newsreel featuring U.S. Mint Director Nellie Tayloe Ross (7.2 mb)

Each exhibit is designed to help you explore a specific theme from AHC collections. A selected group of images will provide a brief introduction to the topic and to the types of related material, but they may not include every image relating to a particular topic. At the end of each exhibit, you will find suggestions on how you can find additional images, and pointers for further research to guide you to other printed and online resources.

Digital collections include portions of motion picture, audio, text, and photographs from AHC collections. The UW Digital Initiative showcases the online multimedia collections built by the University of Wyoming’s Digital Initiative. The Initiative is a partnership of the UW American Heritage Center and University Libraries and emphasizes the collections and technological strengths of both partners.
