The AHC welcomes visits by elementary, junior high, and high school classes. Start by identifying the type of project or research topic you’d like your students to explore, aligning it with the AHC’s archival collections.
Once you’ve selected a topic, contact the AHC Reference Department at ahcref@uwyo.edu or 307-766-3756 to schedule a class visit or tour or fill out our online form here.
Tours, typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes, provide an overview of our main storage area, the second-floor loggia, and the reading room. Additionally, we offer hands-on activities to help students learn how to engage with primary source materials, building their research skills. For grades 6-12, the AHC also supports participation in National History Day, offering students a chance to conduct archival research and present their findings.
Please note that all visits and sessions must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance, as we cannot accommodate walk-in classes.
