Steve Davis (Project Director: May 2007 to June 2009)

Continued development of the Online Nevada Encyclopedia (ONE) and a grant initiative to develop humanities-based civic dialogue programs.

WTP funds would allow NH to animate democracy through humanities discussion and support continued work on NH’s Online Nevada Encyclopedia (ONE). NH’s regrants will be restructured to fund programs that bring people together to discuss significant issues from a humanities perspective. This requires meaningful presentation and discussion of American history—political, social, and cultural. ONE is the only reference work on Nevada’s history and culture; funds will support ONE personnel.
