Prorodeo Hall of Fame

The ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy will preserve a unique set of 120 panoramic and oversized rodeo photographs spanning the years 1919-1957. The collection documents the peak years of rodeo competition in the United States, and it illustrates the evolving image of the American cowboy, the extraordinary mid-20th century popularity of rodeo culture, and the ways in which the ideals of western American culture permeated into America's self-image. The project will clean, restore, and digitize the entire collection, making it available for display, research, and access by the public.
