Home Means Nevada: Folklife in the Silver State oral history interviews

Identifier

OH-00070

Abstract

The interviews in this original radio series were produced by the Folk Arts Program of the Nevada Arts Council (then Nevada State Council on the Arts) in 1986, in partnership with KUNR (Reno), KNPR (Las Vegas) and KOLO (Reno), and with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the State of Nevada. Scripting, editing, photography, and production were by folklorist Blanton Owen. Narration was by Deb Spring, KOLO Radio (Reno). The series consists of thirteen short segments documenting aspects of the traditional life and crafts of Nevada residents. A supplemental printed program provides additional information about each interviewee.
