• Wyoming Sex Offender Registry System (WySORS)

In 2007 the Wyoming State Legislature amended the sex offender registry laws, directing DCI to facilitate access to the information on a public internet web site which lists all sex offenders registered in the State, without the need to consider or assess the specific risk of reoffense with respect to any individual prior to inclusion within the registry.

This web site is provided on the Internet to facilitate public access to information about persons who have committed sex offenses, enabling you to take appropriate precautions to protect yourself and those in your care from possible harm.

• Microfilm Archives Research and Security System (MARSS)

MARSS is a database for accessing information about microfilmed records at the Wyoming State Archives. Since the 1950’s, the Wyoming State Archives has been microfilming records and receiving records on microfilm. Archives staff have compiled the index information in a Microfilm Database, allowing information about microfilmed records to be available through the Internet.

The microfilm collection includes records from state and local government agencies, private collections, and a few federal documents. We have almost all of the Wyoming newspapers on microfilm. Database searches can be conducted using the agency name, county office, or record title or description. Most of the microfilm is available for research, but if the research copy is with the agency of record, you will need to contact that agency regarding access to the film.

• O. A. Beath Selenium Database

The O. A. Beath Database addresses the many and varied aspects of selenium research. It organizes and makes available citations that lead to the published literature about selenium.

• Greater Yellowstone Bibliography

The Greater Yellowstone Bibliography (GYB) contains over 28,900 bibliographic citations to scholarly, popular, professional, and creative literature about the greater Yellowstone region of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. The GYB includes citations to journal, magazine, and newspaper articles; books; book chapters; conference papers; state and federal government documents; theses; maps; CDs and CD-ROMs; sheet music; and promotional brochures and souvenirs. Some references to manuscripts, photographs, and museum artifacts are included, but these are not a major focus for adding to the Bibliography.

• Wyoming Biography Database

This database serves as an index to books that contain biographical profiles of Wyoming people. Currently, there are 7,317 entries from 27 books. The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are best represented although there are some contemporary figures.

• Wyoming Magazine Prospector

Provides author and subject keyword access to over 15,800 articles, poems and short stories from 45 current or ceased Wyoming magazines, including Annals of Wyoming, In Wyoming, Wyoming Wildlife, Wyoming Homes and Living, Teton, or Yellowstone Science.

• Wyoming Water Bibliography

The Wyoming Water Bibliography (WWB) was initiated to provide a comprehensive, computerized, bibliographic storage and retrieval system dealing with the development, management, and use of Wyoming’s water resources. At present, the WWB contains 13,000 citations. As new reports are published, they are incorporated into the WWB by the Wyoming Water Resources Center. The WWB is a multidisciplinary system dealing with all aspects of water. Subject areas included are ground and surface water hydrology, water quality, water development, water management, water law, fish and wildlife, energy development, economics, recreation and various other disciplines related to water. Information for the bibliography was obtained from a variety of sources including state and federal agencies, universities, community colleges, city and county offices, public libraries, consulting firms, commercial database searches, and many personal contacts with other individuals involved with Wyoming’s water. These sources were most valuable in furnishing information to make the WWB as complete as possible.

• WyGISC Data Server

Internet map viewer that displays WyGISC spatial data for Wyoming allowing for clip and zip functionality of vector data and map creation. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Resource Assessment Mapper (WOGRA) has been replaced by the WyGISC Data Server.

• Grasshoppers of Wyoming and the West

The purpose of this electronic “grasshopper encyclopedia” is to permanently archive while simultaneously making widely available the best information available on North American grasshopper ecology, biology and management.

• Prairie to Mountain Explorer™ (PTME) Online

An Internet mapping application displaying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data specifically designed for use in the classroom. Data have been assembled for ID, MT, ND, SD, and WY for such themes as: bedrock geology, roads, boundaries, cities, demographics, climate, land cover, land ownership, species occurrences or habitats, rivers, watersheds and elevation. This viewer supports the OpenGIS Consortium Web Mapping Specifications (WMS). Digital maps are generated from a combination of user-selected data providers at both the state and federal level.

• Wyoming Atlas

The Wyoming Atlas currently contains over 580 maps of Wyoming in many different categories. A unique aspect of this Atlas is that most of the data comprising these maps is digital geospatial data and is available for download. Digital geospatial data contains both database information and spatial information. Because of the spatial component, any of the data comprising these maps can be “overlayed” and analyzed for relationships, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software.

• Wyoming Bioinformation Node’s Species Atlas

This site contains distribution maps for all 445 terrestrial vertebrate species modeled in the Wyoming Gap Analysis Project along with Arc/Info export files for the individual species which can be downloaded and imported into your local GIS. Export files also exist which contain all species distribution information in one coverage, if you wish to download all species information in one file instead of individually.

• Wyoming CBM Clearinghouse

This site is intended to be a clearinghouse of information about coalbed methane (CBM) in and around the state of Wyoming.

Ruckelshaus Institute and the Helga Otto Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, the University of Wyoming’s Wyoming Geographic Information Sciences Center and the Bureau of Land Management.

• Wyoming Natural Resources Data Clearinghouse

This clearinghouse provides browsing and query tools for locating and downloading spatial data.
