The Las Vegas, Nevada Women's Softball Collection (1951-1952) contains photographic prints and negatives depicting a southern Nevada women's softball team. The team was sponsored by Wilson's Texaco Station in Boulder City, Nevada, and the women played in regional games in both southern California and southern Nevada. Photographs in the collection show the team practicing at Peterson Field in Boulder City, and celebrating and spending time together at the Mt. Charleston Lodge. The collection also contains copies of personal accounts written by team member Orpha Alveta Bowman (McBride), who recalls the prejudice some of the lesbian members faced from local community members. The originals of these handwritten accounts are held in MS-01099.
The James Hulse Photograph Collection on Pioche, Nevada contains photographs and postcards from Pioche, Nevada from 1905 to 1951. The photographs primarily depict the town, mining operations, and the Lincoln County Courthouse. The photographs also depict the town during a fire in 1947, the Power & Electric company, several buildings in the town, and Main Street.
