🌿 The Natural Archive is hitting the road!

A traveling version of UW Libraries’ The Natural Archive: Glimpses into the University of Wyoming’s Scientific Collections is now making its way across Wyoming, bringing a look at the state’s biodiversity and natural heritage to libraries in communities statewide.

The tour, coordinated in partnership with the Wyoming State Library, kicked off this month at Goshen County Library in Torrington. Over the next two years, the nine-panel exhibit will visit libraries in Newcastle, Sundance, Gillette, Buffalo, Cody, Lander, Pinedale, Evanston, Rawlins and more.

The exhibit highlights scientific collections from across UW, including the Biodiversity Institute, UW Museum of Vertebrates, Geological Museum, Insect Museum, Williams Conservatory, Rocky Mountain Herbarium and Wyoming Natural Diversity Database.

📍 The exhibit will be on the road through October 2028, with each location hosting it for about a month.
