Wyoming Magazine Prospector Record

Title: Annals of Wyoming
Summary: Annals continued Quarterly Bulletin (see separately) and was published by the Wyoming Historical Department in Cheyenne, WY until 1933 when it suspended publication. It was revived under the title, Wyoming Annals (see separately), in 1938. After five issues it returned to the title Annals of Wyoming in 1939. In 1944, it changed its frequency of publication from quarterly to a semiannual. In 1954, the Wyoming State Historical Society was formed and Annals started being jointly issued by the Society and the Wyoming State Archives, Museums and Historical Department. Annals went to a larger page format in 1979 and again became a quarterly in 1990. In 1992, it got a slick, more popular image, started running ads, used color throughout, and the cover title appeared as Wyoming Annals (see separately). In 1995, the Wyoming Dept. of Commerce (the umbrella agency that included the successor Cultural Resources Division) decided to discontinue state support for the publication and it ceased publication. The Society began issuing Wyoming History Journal (see separately), which continued the Annals' volume numbering. Ultimately the Society changed its title back to Annals of Wyoming (1996, see separately). "Accessions to the Wyoming Historical Department," annual or issue indexes, and short reprints from primary sources are not indexed. Several separate indexes have been issued: 1925-1935 and 1943-1959.
