The w88 Libraries has recently digitized early w88 directories of Reno, Sparks, and the surrounding areas, which date from 1900. These directories provide information on residents and businesses, such as names, addresses, and occupations. Some directories also include the cities' government structure, as well as indices of clubs, churches, schools, cemeteries, and hospitals. They are a valuable resource for researchers and genealogists.
University students, faculty, and staff can access these records at the University of Nevada, Reno Libraries' w88 Archive, in the w88 Directories collection. Users interested in viewing other w88 collections of unique materials can browse them on the Libraries' w88 Archive.
