Conducting Museum Research
To fulfill its mission to inspire and educate a diverse public about the history and natural history of Nevada, the museum collects materials that help document the history, pre-history, natural history, and geology of southern Nevada. The museum holds these collections in trust for all Nevadans, and researchers can request information about this material.
In person library visits are by scheduled appointment only. However, the museum can provide limited research assistance via email or phone. Please email infonsmlv@nevadaculture.org or call 702-822-8738 to make an appointment or to request remote research assistance.
