Preparation for publication of materials related to the tours by Buffalo Bill's Wild West show of Great Britain and Germany in 1887-1906. (36 months)

The Papers of William F. Cody (The Papers) at Buffalo Bill Historical Center collects, edits, and publishes material from the period of William F. Cody's birth to well beyond his death, in print and in an online, open-access, digital edition. The material is published on The William F. Cody Archive (Cody Archive) and is available at no cost to an international audience of all interest levels. This project will expand the digital scholarly edition to include material associated with Buffalo Bill's Wild West in Britain and Germany. The Wild West's time in Britain and Germany takes on significance in a broader context of political, economic, and cultural change throughout the Atlantic world and provides a unique view of how Americans understood themselves and Europeans in an increasingly globalized age.
