Let's get going

the long version

Through taped and transcribed interviews of people with historically significant experiences, the University of Nevada Oral History Program (UNOHP) is building an eyewitness record of Nevada's past. The UNOHP's oral histories are more than rich sources of information - they convey the human dimension of history that is so often absent from other forms of documentation. The program's collection contains over 60,000 pages of transcription on a wide variety of subjects, including ranching and mining, government and politics, the development of the casino gaming industry, Great Basin Indians, the experiences of ethnic and minority groups, and community history.
