The events series (1978-2006) is comprised of documents related to various protests organized or attended by the Nevada Desert Experience (NDE) at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). Materials include speeches, correspondence, newspaper clippings, NDE publications, and workshop training booklets. The materials primarily focus on the August Desert Witness protests (1985-2005), the Lenten Desert Experience protests (1982-2006), and the Millennium 2000 protests (1999-2000).
Materials contain photographs from the Kiel (Taylor) Ranch from 1964, including photographs of the ranch, John Park's house, and other buildings. The Kiel Ranch was one of earliest non-indigenous settlements in the Las Vegas Valley, and it has become infamous as the site of the murders of Ed and William Kiel committed in 1900. The ranch is now in North Las Vegas and is administered by the North Las Vegas Neighborhood and Leisure Services Department.
Materials depict Howard Hughes during various ventures from 1930 to 1950. The photographs depict Trans World Airlines planes, the crash site of Hughes's Sikorsky S-43 in Lake Mead, Nevada, aircraft construction, portraits, unidentified aircraft, events, Hughes during the production of the film The Outlaw, and Hughes speaking with members of the press.
