PRESENTATION:
Robyn Cutter, Archivist from the Park County Archives "TV Shows Featuring Cody Residents 1951-2023". This presentation is one segment of a multi-segment program “Cody in Movies, TV Shows, and Magazines.”

BIO:
Robyn was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. She went to college at North Dakota State University and received a degree in Interior Design. She went on to graduate school at Middle Tennessee State University and received a Master’s Degree in Historic Preservation.

Robyn began her career work specializing in downtown revitalization for small towns in Kentucky and Kansas working for non-profit organizations operating their Main Street Programs. This included lots of grant writing, National Register nominations, restoration of historic buildings, and marketing the downtown communities.

Taking a break from the non-profit world, Robyn managed a day labor service for years and then worked in retail. She came to Cody in 2002 after numerous visits here to get out of the big city and finish raising her family out here, her husband had lived in West Yellowstone and her father-in-law owning and writing a rare 64 page weekly newspaper called The Old Faithful Times in the 1970s.

Robyn worked at the Cody Enterprise for several years and in retail and then decided to go back to Northwest College and get a degree in Photography/Specializing in Digital Preservation. She worked for the McCracken Research Library while in school, and started her own business digitizing people’s photo collections before being hired in the Park County Archives.

Now she is doing her favorite job of her career, and even discovered while working in the archives that she had relatives that lived here since the 1880s.

See you then!
