| Nevada Voices The "Nevada Voices" section of the UNOHP's Web site was developed as a way of making oral history materials more accessible to the general public and to teachers and students. While the program's collection contains oral histories on a wide range of topics, information is scattered throughout over 80,000 pages of transcripts. In an effort to bring together material on popular subjects, the UNOHP has created three components within "Nevada Voices" that deal with the Civil Rights Movement, World War II, and mining, all as they pertain to Nevada. Each section is broken into sub-topics and includes transcript and audio excerpts as well as photographs, context statements, and a brief discussion of the excerpts' relevance. Lesson plans are also being developed, and links will be provided as these plans become available. Work on this project, including the lesson plans, has been supported in part by the Library Services Technology Act and Nevada Humanities, with additional assistance from Sue Davis and the teachers of the Teaching American History Project.

A note to users of this site: As you look at the transcripts and listen to the audio, you may notice that they do not always match each other exactly. Since the program's oral histories have traditionally been presented to the public almost entirely in print form, the transcripts have been edited in order to make them easier to read and understand. Because of that, there may be some discrepancy between the written and audio versions. |
