We’re proud to announce the addition of a number of new William F. Cody Scrapbooks and Photo Albums from the Buffalo Bill Center with more on the way! These scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings from each of the regions Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show traveled. Included are the United Kingdom, Germany, Paris, and locations across the US. 

Here are some samples we clipped from a couple of the scrapbooks!
