Oral Histories progress


                                                          Oral History Project Update
                Our Society received a grant years ago for the Nevada Legal Oral History Project.  Several have been completed and are available on the publications page of our website.  We also have transcripts of interviews with Justices Cameron Bater, E.M. Gunderson and Clifton Young and with Judges Peter Breen, Melvin Brunetti, Proctor Hug, Roger Hunt and Howard McKibben.  We also have transcripts from Frank Daykin, the former Legislative Counsel and attorney Herbert Jones.
                 This work is jointly sponsored by the Ninth Judicial Circuit Historical Society and by the UNR Oral History Program.  Major funding was from the Jon Ben Snow Memorial Trust.  These histories are in the process of being edited for publication and distribution.  The Society has to confirm agreements with the interviewees or with their estates and we want to provide suitable introductions for the final publications.
