Wyoming Newspapers

The Wyoming Newspaper Project is a website with all the newspapers printed in Wyoming between 1849 and 1922.

The Family History Library has not acquired copies of Wyoming newspapers. The library has copies of a few publications that contain abstracts of vital information printed in newspapers. Genealogical and historical periodicals also publish some obituaries and other extracts from early newspapers.
