Nevada has a long and rich history dating back to its days as a territory,continuing on to its early statehood,
and its development into the fastest growing state in the US. Much of this history is captured in documents
and artifacts that are scattered within archives, libraries and museums throughout the state. This directory provides a detailed listing of those repositories that house materials documenting the history and cultural heritage of our state.
Each listing features a description of the repository and its significant
collecting areas as well as important contact information.
The directory is viewable by county and city and
searchable by subject and keyword.
Please note: this directory does NOT list public record repositories
that would be under the jurisdiction of local government entities such as
courthouses, forthese types of materials, please contact the appropriate county agency.
This directory focuses primarily on those institutions that contain
archival documents, rather than artifacts, for a detailed guide to museums in
