The Great ONE

Nevada sponsors an ambitious online encyclopedia project called the Online Nevada Encyclopedia (ONE).

It's still in development. But what's available now covers a range of fascinating topics:
* Land and Water
* Peoples of Nevada
* Community and Society
* The Arts
* Business and Economy
* Mining
* Gaming and Tourism
* Politics and Government
* Nuclear Nevada
* Exploration and Transportation.

Includes 100s, maybe 1000s of old historical photos.

Ever wondered why something in Nevada is the way it is? It's probably because some miner or some mobster caused it.

Check out the old pictures of Virginia City and the discovery of the Comstock Lode, one of the richest gold & silver strikes in the west.

Or follow the story of organic crime that birthed modern-day Las Vegas.

If you love history, this could keep you fascinated for days or months. Or years.
