LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — The University of Wyoming's American Heritage Center has digitized and made accessible more than 3,200 photographic negatives from legendary geology professor Sam Knight.

The images span the years 1891-1965, with the bulk being from 1891-1936. They focus heavily on the university and surrounding Wyoming locales.

These photographs include UW buildings, students and professors, fossils, geologic formations and turn-of-the-century UW football games.

A UW professor for five decades, Knight in 1999 was named Wyoming's Citizen of the Century by the college's American Heritage Center.

He died in 1975.
