We recommend starting with a book the University of Wyoming had history professor Deborah Hardy write in 1986, titled Wyoming University:  the First 100 Years. Hardy breaks the history down by period, which you could easily peruse based on your date range. The call number is LD6267.5 .H37 1986, and you can find it in the basement of Coe Library, in the Folio section. If you are unsure of this location within the building, stop by the Coe Library Help Desk on the main level (to the left as you walk in), and they can guide you.  

Beyond this, you may also want to look at Rick Ewig and Tamsen Hert's 2014 photo book "University of Wyoming," with call number LD6267.5 .E955 2012  on level 3 of Coe Library.  

We recommend contacting the Emmett Chisum Special Collections room on level 3 of Coe Library. You can contact them at chisumrr@uwyo.edu or (307) 766-2027.
