Wyoming State Museum Receives Funding to Purchase Artifact Storage Drawers

The Wyoming State Museum recently acquired 50 museum-grade drawers for artifact storage, thanks to support from various funding sources. These drawers are essential for properly housing two significant recently donated collections: one featuring Native American artifacts and the other consisting of firearms. This purchase will provide high-quality storage for these artifacts for decades and allow for continued growth in these collection areas. 

“Our gratitude to the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund and the Greenwood Fund of the Denver Foundation cannot be overstated,” said Mandy Langfald, curator of collections at the Wyoming State Museum. “Their generous support enables us to preserve our collections with the care and respect they deserve. Proper storage is crucial for conserving these artifacts and ensuring that future generations can appreciate the rich history they represent.” 

The project was made possible by a grant from the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund (WCTF), part of the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, along with support from the Greenwood Fund of the Denver Foundation.
