| Description | CURATORIAL, COLLECTIONS & CONSERVATION PLAN:INTRODUCTIONTHE CONSERVATION AND COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENTS HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MORE THAN 100,000 COLLECTION OBJECTS (MANY WITH MULTIPLE PARTS) INSIDE THE MUSEUM; 2,000 LINEAL FEET OF ARCHIVAL AND MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS; AND 500,000 HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPHS DEPICTING THE AMERICAN WEST. IN ADDITION, A MAJOR OUTDOOR SCULPTURE COLLECTION AND SCULPTURE GARDEN CONTAINS A COLLECTION OF OVER 20 BRONZES AND FERROUS OBJECTS. ALL OF THESE COLLECTIONS WILL GROW IN THE FUTURE. AS THE ONLY CONSERVATION LABORATORY WITHIN AN INSTITUTION IN WYOMING, THE CONSERVATOR ROUTINELY RESPONDS TO INQUIRIES FROM THE PUBLIC, AND MUSEUMS IN WYOMING AND THE WESTERN NON-COASTAL STATES. THE COLLECTIONS MANAGERS ALSO ROUTINELY COUNSEL AND GIVE AID TO SMALLER INSTITUTIONS AND INDIVIDUALS IN WYOMING AND THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION.THE CENTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ITS FOURTH REACCREDIDATION BY THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS WHICH MEANS THAT THE CENTER IS IN THE TOP 800 MUSEUMS OUT OF OVER 18,000 NATIONALLY. THE CENTER HAS BEEN ACCREDITED CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1972. A COMPREHENSIZE COLLECTION POLICY OUTLINES ALL ASPECTS OF THE OPERATIONS, CARE, DOCUMENTATION AND HANDLING OF OUR COLLECTIONS. THE POLICY SERVES AS A MODEL FOR OTHER INSTITUTIONS. THE CENTER ADHERES TO STRICT CONSERVATION STANDARDS. THE MUSEUM IS COMMITTED TO CREATING OPTIMUM STORAGE AND EXHIBIT ENVIRONMENTS THAT REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON OBJECTS AND WORKS OF ART. A MONITORING AND MITIGATION PROGRAM FOR INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN ONGOING UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE COLLECTIONS MANAGERS FOR DECADES; THE TRAPS ARE MONITORED AT A MINIMUM OF EVERY SIX MONTHS. THE OPERATIONS STAFF RECEIVES STATE OF THE ART TRAINING ANNUALLY. THE SET POINTS FOR OLD AND NEW BUILDINGS ARE: TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 68 AND 72 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND A HUMIDITY LEVEL OF 50% (RH), +/-5% RH IN A 24-HOUR PERIOD. HYGROTHERMOGRAPHS ARE USED FOR ADDITIONAL MONITORING. INTERPRETIVE PHILOSOPHY, STRATEGY AND CONTENT:THE CENTER ASPIRES TO BE "THE WORLD'S FOREMOST AUTHORITY AND INTERPRETER OF THE AMERICAN WEST." OUR MISSION STATEMENT READS "THROUGH OUR IDEAS, COLLECTIONS, AND PROGRAMS, WE EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN WORLDWIDE AUDIENCES ABOUT THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN WEST." THE CENTER IS MOVING TO HOLISTICALLY INTERPRET THE AMERICAN WEST AND HAS CHANGED ITS TACTICS FROM PROMOTING FIVE SEPARATE MUSEUMS TO PROMOTING THE CENTER AS ONE ENTITY WHICH CAN INTERPRET THE AMERICAN WEST FROM DIFFERENT AND YET COMPLEMENTARY PERSPECTIVES. THE CENTER HAS ESTABLISHED THE IDEA OF "THE AMERICAN WEST TRANSCENDS TIME AND PLACE." THIS MEANS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE HERE IN THE WEST TO EXPERIENCE THE TRAITS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF WHAT THE AMERICAN WEST IS ALL ABOUT. YOU CAN DO THAT VIRTUALLY VIA TECHNOLOGY AND THROUGH OUR EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS THAT TRAVEL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD. THEMES:THE CENTER HAS ESTABLISHED FOUR THEMES THAT WILL BE USED AS BUILDING BLOCKS TO INTERPRET THE AMERICAN WEST. THESE THEMES ARE: - DIVERSE PEOPLE IN REMARKABLE LANDSCAPES - RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PEOPLE, CULTURE, NATURE AND PLACE - STORIES AND MYTHS ABOUT THE AMERICAN WEST - THE UNIVERSAL AND ENDURING VALUES OF THE AMERICAN WEST THAT INFORM THE AMERICAN CHARACTERTHE CENTER WILL CREATE EDUCATIONAL POLICY TO DRIVE THESE THEMES INTO ALL OF OUR EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, A MASTER INTERPRETIVE PLAN WILL BE CREATED TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE REACHING OUR AUDIENCES WITH PROGRAMS AND EXHIBITS THAT EXPLAIN THE THEMES AND MEET OUR VISITOR'S NEEDS. WE WILL EVENTUALLY EXPAND OUR AUDIENCES FROM 200,000 ON-SITE VISTORS TO ALMOST 300,000 VISTORS ANNUALLY. IN ADDITION, WE WILL EXPAND THE NUMBER OF UNIQUE WEBSITE VISITS FROM 500,000 TO 2,000,000 ANNUALLY. THE CENTER HAS EMBARKED UPON A $2,750,000 PROGRAM TO REINSTALL THE HISTORY SECTION OF THE CENTER THAT FOCUSES ON WILLIAM F. "BUFFALO BILL" CODY. PLANNING AND FUNDRAISING HAVE BEEN UNDERWAY SINCE 2008 AND CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED IN JULY OF 2012. DURING 2010, THE CENTER REDUCED SOME PROGRAM OFFERINGS TO CLOSE THE BUDGET GAPS. THE NUMBER OF PROGRAMS WAS REDUCED BY 10% BUT WE STILL OFFER PROGRAMS TO ALL SEGMENTS OF OUR VISTORS AND COMMUNITY. ALSO IN 2010, THE CENTER'S TRUSTEES BEGAN A STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS THAT SETS THE COURSE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSTITUTION FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. THIS PLAN PLACES A PREMIUM ON DEVELOPING THE IDEAS AND INFORMING THE NATIONAL CHARACTER THAT ARE INHERENT IN THE AMERICAN WEST, WHICH CAN BE DESCRIBED AND EXPLAINED THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE REGION FROM NATURAL, CULTURAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES. | Description |

| ORGANIZATION MISSION STATEMENT | FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 | THE BUFFALO BILL MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION (BBMA) WAS FOUNDED AS A NONPROFIT EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION IN 1917, THE YEAR OF WILLIAM F. "BUFFALO BILL" CODY'S PASSING. BUFFALO BILL WAS AN AUTHENTIC WESTERN HERO WHOSE LIFE AND CAREER PARALLELED MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN WESTERN AMERICAN HISTORY. THE BBMA MAINTAINS & OPERATES THE BUFFALO BILL HISTORICAL CENTER (CENTER); OVERSEEING THE CENTER'S MISSION OF SERVING THE PUBLIC BY ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE AMERICAN WEST THROUGH A BROAD RANGE OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING ACQUIRING; EXHIBITING & INTERPRETING COLLECTIONS; PRESERVING THEIR PHYSICAL & CONTEXTUAL INTEGRITY; AND HELPING THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AMERICAN WEST. THIS MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH EXHIBITIONS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOLARSHIP AND PRESENTING THE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE IDEAS ABOUT THE AMERICAN WEST TO AUDIENCES WHO COME THROUGH OUR DOORS AND VIEW US ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB. COMPRISED OF FIVE SECTIONS CALLED "MUSEUMS" AND A RESEARCH LIBRARY, THE CENTER HAS, OVER THE YEARS, BECOME MUCH MORE THAN A MONUMENT TO THE LIFE AND TIMES OF BUFFALO BILL. IT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "SMITHSONIAN OF THE WEST." THE CENTER SERVES ALMOST 200,000 VISITORS ANNUALLY ON SITE IN CODY, WY AND APPROXIMATELY 500,000 ANNUALLY VIA OUR WEBSITE. IN 2008 DURING A WHITE HOUSE CEREMONY, THE CENTER RECEIVED THE NATIONAL MEDAL FOR MUSEUM SERVICE, THE HIGHEST AWARD GRANTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE AWARD RECOGNIZES THE SERVICES THE CENTER OFFERS TO THE COMMUNITY. |

SUMMER AND WINTER WORKSHOPS ARE 2-4 HOUR EXPERIENCES PRIMARILY GEARED TOWARDS OUR LOCAL AUDIENCE. WORKSHOPS ARE OFFERED TO STUDENTS AGES 4-6, 7-9, 10+. TOPICS ARE AGE SPECIFIC AND COVER ALL DISCIPLINES OF THE CENTER. WHILE THESE ARE SHORT SESSIONS, THEY ARE VERY IN DEPTH AND PERTINENT TO THE PARTICULAR TOPIC. THEY EACH HAVE HANDS-ON COMPONENTS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: ANIMAL OLYMPICS, CROW STORYTELLING, ART AND DANCE, WATERCOLOR WONDER, CLAY CREATIONS, AND "INSECTIGATIONS" INSECT IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM. 2. ADULT WORKSHOPS WERE TRADITIONALLY OFFERED DURING THE SUMMER AND WINTER, HOWEVER THEY ARE NOW OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR OUR ADULT LEARNERS. THE CLASSES ARE OFFERED IN A VARIETY OF DISCIPLINES, FORMATS, AND LENGTHS, AND ARE TARGETED PRIMARILY TO LOCAL AUDIENCES. THERE ARE FEES FOR SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS WHILE OTHERS ARE FREE TO ALL. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: WINTER EAGLE WATCH (FIELD EXCURSION); A WESTERN FILM SERIES WITH DISCUSSION; PAINTING WITH THE MASTERS (STUDIO ART CLASS); AND BEHIND THE SCENES TOURS OF THE CENTER. 3. EACH SUMMER, EDUCATION STAFF, DOCENTS, AND INTERNS PRESENT "SPOTLIGHT PROGRAMS" TO SUMMER VISITORS. THESE SHORT 20-MINUTE INTERPRETIVE PRESENTATIONS PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE VISITORS ABOUT A PARTICULAR TOPIC WITHIN THE CENTER. PROGRAMS ARE DONE IN ALL OF THE MUSEUMS. THESE SPOTLIGHTS ARE APPEALING TO THE VISITOR OR GENERAL AUDIENCE. THEY TYPICALLY ARE LECTURE-BASED; HOWEVER MOST HAVE HANDS-ON COMPONENTS. SPOTLIGHT PROGRAMS ALSO HELP TO ORIENT THE VISITOR TO THE REST OF THE MUSEUM. EACH GROUP RECEIVES A TAILORED VERSION OF THE SPOTLIGHT, WHICH IS BASED ON THE AUDIENCE'S PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND THEIR AGE. TOPICS INCLUDED: FIREARMS- WILDLIFE FRIEND OR FOE; OWLS- PREDATORS OF THE NIGHT; WHY THE COWBOY WEARS A HAT; YELLOWSTONE GEOLOGY; WHAT'S A POW-WOW?; AND YOUNG CHARLIE RUSSELL. EDUCATORS ALSO PROVIDE FAMILY ACTIVITIES TO OUR VISITORS INCLUDING ART IN THE GARDEN, AND MAGNIFICENT METAMORPHOSIS. 4. CONSIDERING ITS MISSION TO ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE AMERICAN WEST, THE CENTER DEVELOPED FIVE PROGRAMS THAT ENGAGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN LEARNING ABOUT THE WEST. THE PROGRAMS CELEBRATE WYOMING'S CULTURE AND HERITAGE AND COMPLEMENT THE FIVE MUSEUMS WITHIN THE CENTER. STUDENTS ROTATE TO DIFFERENT STATIONS AS THEY LEARN THROUGH HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES ABOUT THE WEST. MUSEUM ADVENTURES ARE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS STATE EDUCATION STANDARDS AND GOALS AND MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS IN SMALL, ISOLATED COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO ARTS AND HUMANITIES-RELATED PROGRAMMING. AMERICAN INDIAN HERITAGE CELEBRATION FEATURES CONTEMPORARY PLAINS INDIAN ART, HISTORY, AND CULTURAL TRADITIONS PRESENTED BY PLAINS ARTISTS, STORYTELLERS, DANCERS, AND MUSICIANS. A CELEBRATION OF BUFFALO BILL'S BIRTHDAY INCLUDES INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES LED BY MUSICIANS AND HISTORICAL INTERPRETERS WHO GIVE CHILDREN A GLIMPSE OF WHAT THEIR LIVES MIGHT HAVE BEEN LIKE DURING BUFFALO BILL'S ERA. COWBOY SONGS & RANGE BALLADS PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR WESTERN HERITAGE THROUGH STORIES & SONGS. CHILDREN LEARN ABOUT COWBOYS, RANCHING & AGRICULTURE, AND UNIQUE & HOMEMADE INSTRUMENTS. GREATER YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE INCREASES UNDERSTANDING & APPRECIATION FOR THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT BIND HUMANS TO NATURE IN THE WEST - SPECIFICALLY THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE REGION. "ARTLIFE!" IS A DAY-LONG SERIES OF ACTIVITIES THAT BROADENS STUDENTS' EXPOSURE TO CONTEMPORARY ART AND LIVING ARTISTS. 5. THE PLAINS INDIAN MUSEUM SEMINAR IS AN ANNUAL PROGRAM OF THE CENTER WHICH ATTRACTS SCHOLARS, ARTISTS, AND OTHER INTERESTED PEOPLE FOR PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS RELATED TO THE ARTS, CULTURES, AND HISTORY OF THE PLAINS INDIANS. PAST PROGRAMS HAVE FOCUSED ON SUCH TOPICS AS SACRED LANDS, EDUCATION, MUSIC AND DANCING, AND VARIOUS ASPECTS OF PLAINS INDIAN ARTS. EACH YEAR, THE SEMINAR INCLUDES A FIELD TRIP. TYPICALLY, AUDIENCES ARE LOCAL AND REGIONAL. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE SEMINARS 31 YEAR HISTORY, THE 2007 PROGRAM INCLUDED INVITED GUESTS MAORI EDUCATORS FROM NEW ZEALAND WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE 4 DAY SEMINAR AND WERE FEATURED IN THE KEYNOTE PRESENTATION, ATTENDED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL AS SEMINAR PARTICIPANTS. OUR PARTNERS IN THIS UNPRECEDENTED EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE WERE THE WIND RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION, THE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES PROGRAM, THE WYOMING HUMANITIES COUNCIL, AND THE WYOMING ARTS COUNCIL. 6. DURING SUMMER MONTHS, WE INVITE SPECIAL PRESENTERS TO THE CENTER TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR SKILLS IN THE GALLERIES. PRESENTERS ARE SPECIFIC TO THE DISCIPLINES OF THE GALLERIES. THEY INTERACT WITH THE VISITORS TO HELP THE AUDIENCES UNDERSTAND THEIR CRAFT OR TRADE. PRESENTATIONS INCLUDE: PRINTING PRESS WITH MIKE PARKER, SPINNING AND WEAVING WITH DEBBIE CRAM, FLY FISHING WITH MATT WILHELM, ARCHEOLOGY WITH LARRY TODD, BEAR AWARENESS WITH THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE, GUN ENGRAVING WITH BILL JOHNS, AND ART DEMONSTRATIONS WITH ALLAN MARDON, BRUCE GRAHAM, JULIE ORIET, AND AURTHUR MIOTTE. 7. SPECIAL PRESENTERS AND OUR OWN CURATORS DO PROGRAMS IN THE COE AUDITORIUM THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER FOR OUR VISITORS. THEY ATTRACT BOTH OUR GENERAL VISITORS AND OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SIT AND RELAX FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES OF INTERPRETATION AND ENTERTAINMENT. THE PROGRAMS ARE PRIMARILY DESIGNED FOR ADULT AUDIENCES. TOPICS INCLUDE: CELEBRATING RAPTORS, HISTORY OF FIREARMS, COWBOY MUSIC, WIND RIVER MUSIC AND DANCERS, YOGI BEAR'S 50TH YEAR COMMEMORATION, AND BUFFALO BILL REENACTMENT.

| THE PAPERS OF WILLIAM F. CODY: THE CENTER HAS AN ACTIVE RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FORMED AROUND SEVERAL ENTITIES WITHIN OUR MISSION. THE PAPERS OF WILLIAM F. CODY HAS EMBARKED UPON A PROGRAM TO COLLECT ALL OF CODY'S WRITINGS AND ALL INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED ABOUT HIM. THIS INFORMATION IS COLLECTED AND THEN PLACED ON-LINE VIA THE WEB THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA DIGITAL ARCHIVES. THE PAPERS OF WILLIAM F. CODY HAS ALSO PUBLISHED OR REPUBLISHED THREE BOOKS OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS INCLUDING THE DEFINITIVE NARRATIVE OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM F. CODY REPRINTED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1899 WITH EXTENSIVE SCHOLARLY ANNOTATIONS AND AN UPDATE ON HIS LIFE FROM THE COMPLETION OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY TIL HIS DEATH IN 1917. IN ADDITION, A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE IN SCOTLAND IS PRODUCING TRANSLATIONS OF ALL PUBLISHED ACCOUNTS OF CODY'S TRIPS TO EUROPE WITH HIS SHOW, THE WILD WEST. OVER 20 SCHOLARS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT REPRESENTING 10 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. STAFF RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP: THE CENTER EMPLOYS OVER 20 STAFF MEMBERS WITH ADVANCED DEGREES. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IS CONDUCTED ON GOLDEN EAGLES OF THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE ECO-SYSTEM. THIS UNIQUE PROJECT UNDER THE DIRECTION OF DR. CHARLES PRESTON USES A GOLDEN EAGLE POSSE OF 25 CITIZEN SCIENTISTS TO MAKE DAILY AND WEEKLY OBSERVATIONS ON OVER 50 GOLDEN EAGLE NESTS THROUGHOUT THE REGION TO ESTABLISH NESTING, REPRODUCTIVE AND MIGRATION PATTERNS FOR ONE OF AMERICA'S ENDANGERED SPECIES. DR. PRESTON REGULARLY LECTURES TO SCHOLARLY, STUDENT AND LAY AUDIENCES ON RAPTORS AND GOLDEN EAGLES. THIS WORK IS USED TO HELP FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES AND CORPORATIONS IN UNDERSTANDING THESE BIRDS IN A FRAGILE ECO-SYSTEM. HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RESEARCH IS CONDUCTED REGULARLY BY OVER 10 STAFF MEMBERS. THE RESEARCH USED BY THE STAFF IS PRESENTED AT PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCES AND SYMPOSIA RELATED TO HISTORY, AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURE, FIREARM TECHNOLOGY, AND ART & OTHER HUMANITIES BASED ACTIVITIES. OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS, STAFF RESEARCH HAS BEEN PRESENTED AT 15 CONFERENCES AND RESULTED IN THE PRODUCTION OF 5 EXHIBITIONS AND THE PUBLICATION OF 3 CATALOGS AND GALLERY GUIDES. MCCRACKEN RESEARCH LIBRARY: THE LIBRARY CONTRIBUTES TO SCHOLARSHIP AND RESEARCH BY MEETING THE NEEDS OF OVER 200 RESEARCHERS EACH YEAR FOR ACCESS TO SCHOLARLY AND PRIMARY SOURCE MATERIALS RELATED TO THE AMERICAN WEST. RESEARCHERS CAME FROM 30 STATES AND 5 FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO USE THE RESOURCES OF THE LIBRARY. THE LIBRARY ALSO CONDUCTS PRIMARY SOURCE CLASSES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THIS REMOTE RURAL REGION. LAST YEAR OVER 150 STUDENTS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL LEARNED HOW TO RESEARCH, ANALYZE AND USE PRIMARY SOURCES. THIS HAS LED THE HIGH SCHOOLS IN OUR REGION TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE AVERAGE PLACEMENT IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. | ||
