Abstract

During August of 2017, eight Utah State University and three University of Wyoming students learned the art of cultural documentation at the historic Triangle X Dude Ranch inside the Grand Teton National Park. As proprietors of the oldest operating dude ranch in the GTNP, the Turner Family has welcomed guests at the Triangle X for more than ninety years. This summer, the Turners’ welcomed the USU/UW students as they participated in a Library of Congress Field School for Cultural Documentation.

The products from the field school (interview audio, vetted transcripts, and photographs) and supplementary photographs of Triangle X buildings and events, and the field school class, are available in the robust digital collection Jackson Hole Dude Ranching Tradition: Triangle X prepared by USU Special Collections & Archives and Metadata Services.

The 2017 Field School is a collaboration between Utah State University, the University of Wyoming, and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
