Nevada Archives Month 2024 celebrates the legacy of Smokey Bear and his enduring commitment to wildfire prevention. Together, let’s protect our natural and cultural heritage for generations to come!
Archives Month is a time to raise awareness about the importance of preserving history for future generations by highlighting available information about our past. Archival and historical repositories across the United States celebrate Archives Month in October of each year and Nevada is no exception.
In recognition of the occasion, Governor Lombardo issued a proclamation declaring October 2024 in Nevada as Archives Month. Visit the Archives Month 2024 webpage to learn more about early efforts of the State Forester Firewarden's role in implementing the Clarke-McNary Act of 1924 in Nevada, and the Nevada Division of Forestry's dedication to the protection and management of our state's lands. On this page, you can also find the 2024 Archives Month Poster and information on Smokey Bear's 80 Years of preventing wildfires.
We invite you to visit the Nevada State Archives in Carson City to view photographs, maps, correspondence, and other historical records that document Nevada’s history of forestry, fire prevention, fire control, and forest management. Learn about Nevada’s rich history of forestry, fire prevention, fire control, and forest management dating back to the 1930s. Materials will be displayed here online and in person at the Nevada State Archives from October 1 to December 31, 2024. The Archives is open to the public from 10:00am-2:00pm, Monday-Friday (excluding holidays).
