This series is comprised of records created by congregations and other organizations in the Las Vegas, Nevada Jewish community from 1988 to 2004. In addition to newsletters from various congregations in the Las Vegas Valley and the Holocaust Survivors Group of Southern Nevada, the series also includes form letters, fliers, programs, invitations, photographs, audiovisual materials, and other ephemera documenting the events and activities of the Jewish community.

This series is comprised of materials from 1998 to 2006 that document the Jewish Genealogical Society of Southern Nevada (JGSSN) and genealogical research done by Mary Barkan. JGSSN records include newsletters, meeting announcements, an index of the newsletters, an index of names from the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery, and an index of names from Las Vegas synagogue bulletins. Mary Barkan's genealogical research materials, created around the year 2000, include an autobiographical account of living in Las Vegas from 1977 to 2000 and family histories related to her husband, Barry Barkan.
