All That Jazz Oral History Project

"This project shows the Strip in the heyday of entertainment from a different angle, from the point of view of band members. What was it like to play behind Sammy Davis, Jr., or Bobby Darrin? Why did this type of music end? Did the musician’s union make the right decision by striking? Las Vegas history is multi-layered and this group permits a look into the back door of stage."

Heart to Heart Oral History Project

"An often told story is that Moe Dalitz, legendary casino owner, built Sunrise Hospital. Did other colorful residents play major roles in early heath care? Who were some of the early doctors? Why was the highway between the city and the Nevada Test Site referred to as the "widow maker?" The unique challenges of doctors and health care personnel in Las Vegas are described as they evolved from a tent hospital to the modern facilities of today."

History of Blue Diamond Village in Nevada Oral History Project

This is the history of Blue Diamond Village. Blue Diamond is located 26 miles southwest of Las Vegas. The village, originally known as Cottonwood Springs, changed its name when the Blue Diamond Company took ownership of the Gypsum mine and built corporate housing for the workers in the early '20s. Near the base of the Red Rock canyon, Blue Diamond Village was originally a stop on the Old Spanish Trail for traders from Santa Fe, N.M., to California between 1830 and 1848, according to the history committee's findings.
