Biographical notes:

The Laramie Woman's Club (LWC) was formed on September 13, 1898 for the purpose of cultural and civic betterment. One of the early leaders of the organization and long-time president was Mary Godat Bellamy, Wyoming's first woman state legislator. The LWC was a member of the Wyoming Federation of Women's Clubs and the General Federation of Women's Clubs, a national organization for women's clubs.

In 1934 the LWC began collecting materials for a historical museum, which was often referred to as the public or city museum. In 1943 the LWC helped to form the Albany County Historical Society (ACHS), which took over the management of the museum materials.
