Nevada Women's Legacy Project

Join us in this project to collect and permanently display and store oral histories, video interviews and other ways of knowing Nevada women and their contributions to making “Nevada Proud, Nevada Battle Born”. By means of our outreach program we are developing partnerships with women in the cities, towns and rural communities in all Nevada counties. We are encouraging and facilitating a comprehensive collection of  womenʼs  history through voices and faces of living women.

Events  will be held to introduce these women and share their stories in local communities throughout the year culminating in two October gala events in the Las Vegas Valley and the Reno/Sparks/Carson City area. Read about our first two events on this site  ( NEWS BLOG  section lower right) and facebook:

First Ladies First  held on January 11, 2014 at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas    

Women of Searchlight, Laughlin and Cal-Nev-Ari  held on January 25, 2014 at the Searchlight Community Center
