We launch the ONE with an exploration of Nevada's colorful nineteenth century mining history, a look at politics in the Silver State, and an examination of the growth and history of gaming, as well as articles on a number of other subjects. But that is just the beginning. As it develops, the ONE will look even more deeply into these subjects and others including Nevada's history and peoples, natural history, arts and culture and business and the economy. The Online Nevada Encyclopedia has been developed by Nevada Humanities with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education and the State of Nevada. Nevada Humanities is the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
