EXHIBIT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MAJOR EXHIBITION OF STANLEY'S PAINTINGS SINCE 1852. MORE THAN 200 OF HIS WORKS WERE DESTROYED IN A FIRE AT THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION IN 1865 WHICH LIKELY CONTRIBUTED TO A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIM IN LATER AMERICAN ART HISTORY.

THE 2000-PIECE COLLECTION, MORE THAN 80 OF WHICH ARE ON DISPLAY IN THE GALLERY, INCLUDES CLOTHING, EAGLE FEATHER BONNETS, BEAR CLAW NECKLACES, BUFFALO HIDE TIPIS AND TIPI FURNISHINGS, SHIELDS, CRADLES, PEACE MEDALS, MOCCASINS, AND MUCH MORE.

THE CODY FIREARMS MUSEUM ALSO COMPLETED INSTALLATION OF A MAJOR FIREARMS DISPLAY IN ITS STUDY GALLERY THAT ENABLES MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED GUNS TO BE EXHIBITED IN AN AREA THAT WOULD NORMALLY ACCOMMODATE JUST MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED BECAUSE OF A NEWLY-DEVELOPED DISPLAY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES THE FIREARMS TO BE SEEN FROM ALL SIDES AND AT A MUCH CLOSER DISTANCE THAN HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY POSSIBLE.THE CENTER'S MCCRACKEN RESEARCH LIBRARY ACQUIRED THE ENGINEERING RECORDS OF THE WINCHESTER ARMS COMPANY AND HAS RECEIVED FUNDING TO ALLOW THE RECORDS TO BE DIGITIZED AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE RESEARCH.THE CENTER'S DRAPER NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM RECEIVED A TRANSFER OF 100 GRAY WOLF (CANIS LUPUS) HEADS FROM THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE FROM THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE ECOSYSTEM OUTSIDE OF NATIONAL PARKS TO BE PREPARED AS SKELETAL MATERIAL AND USED FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, REFERENCE MATERIAL, AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING.THE EXHIBITION, SCOTS IN THE AMERICAN WEST, DOCUMENTED THE INDIVIDUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF A FEW SCOTS IN THE AMERICAN WEST.
