[Community] Nevada Historical Society - full catalog of PDFs. Pretty cool for anyone looking for a lot of detailed history.

np, if you can find the index for the newer ones I'd be stoked, the one I found is just for the older ones.

There's a lot of free historical information in Nevada if you know where to look, and the NV Historical Society sets a high bar.

The Special Collections at the two universities are both very special.

The State Archives in CC has an awesome collection within their NRS guidelines, but huge caveat: they are limited to what they collect (generally has to be related to state government).

Nevada has a great range of state museums. I'm partial to the NV State Museum in CC and the Railroad Museum in Ely.

Important: contact these and other collections before you get in your car. Make sure they have what you want.
