Category: About Us

Celebrated annually in September, Wyoming Archaeology Awareness Month (WAAM) consists of a series of statewide activities and programs devoted to discussing archaeological issues and to educating the public about the importance of preserving and protecting Wyoming’s archaeological heritage. The centerpiece of WAAM is the poster we produce every year. It is distributed statewide, nationally, and internationally to more than 3,000 people and organizations. Wyoming posters have been honored with numerous awards in the State Archaeology Week Poster Contest sponsored by the Society for American Archaeology’s Public Education Committee and Council of Affiliated Societies.

Category: About Us

The Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office is beginning their preparations to revise and update the 2016 - 2026 Historic Preservation Plan (HPP). This statewide plan will guide the actions and set the priorities, challenges, and goals for historic preservation activities in Wyoming through 2037. This revision will be informed by our preservation partners, stakeholders, and the general public. The success of the statewide plan will be dependent upon input from our partners and their participation in this process. You can participate in a variety of ways:

• ​Participate in our "Initial Statewide Historic Preservation Survey"
• Upload photographs of historic places and spaces that are special to you and your community.​
  • These photographs may be featured in the new statewide plan, so include a thorough description and give credit to the photographer!
  • Link to the photo upload form.​
• Attend one of our public events (virtually or in person!) As these meetings are scheduled, we will provide the dates and the links for virtual events on this webpage. 

​You can download our previous statewide plan to familiarize yourself with the types of information that is normally included in these statewide plans. Additionally, if you would like to know more about the National Park Service guidelines as it relates to historic preservation planning, please visit this link.
