Series II provides a history of the Ronzone family, mostly through newspaper clippings and photographs. Thirteen black and white photographs depict scenes in turn-of-the-20th- century mining towns in Alaska, possibly including Nome and Sitka. Bertha and her husband A. B. "Ben" Ronzone were originally in Alaska during the gold rush between 1900 and 1904 before they came to Nevada; these pictures were taken just after that time. Six other photographs in this series feature Ann, Dick, and Bertha Ronzone in social and other contexts. There are also newspaper clippings about Bertha Ronzone and the rest of

the family, telling the story of their pioneer years in central Nevada and their migration to and success in Las Vegas. Finally, there are various obituaries for Dick Ronzone, a list of possible Ronzone relatives, and some personal programs and ephemera from funeral and other personal events.

Series III focuses on the iconic department store owned and operated in Las Vegas by the Ronzones from the late 1920s until 1970. There are clippings containing news articles and advertisements for the store; memorabilia such as sheet music, wrapping paper, a copy of a roadside billboard ad; manuals and receipts for audio equipment probably purchased for the store; and photographs of the storefront, its employees, and Ronzone family members in the store.

Series V contains miscellaneous materials on social and cultural community issues in Las Vegas. These materials include newspaper clippings and lengthy news editorials on general Las Vegas and Nevada history, as well as two Las Vegas High School Reunion Yearbooks from 1983 that contain remembrances and biographical sketches from graduates of the classes of 1935 and 1936. There are two guides showing the state of the real estate market in the late 1980s.
