Research Resources

The Nevada State Library offers many tools to help you do research. Most of the Library's online resources can be used from home if you have a Nevada State Library card and there are Statewide Databases that are available at Nevada public, school, and academic libraries.

If you do not have a Nevada State Library card, you can apply for one.

Some resources can only be used in the Library like Candid and ancestry.com.

If you need help, the librarians are available to answer questions or guide you in the right direction.
