Las Vegas Arts in Print Media site

As much as I studied art, I studied history and media coverage of current events, what has been called the first draft of history. I saved print news articles about Las Vegas arts. Then, print media collapsed. Little of what was produced over 25 years by Las Vegas print media had migrated to online archives. Online archives are ever at risk of being erased. Most of the history of the development of the Las Vegas arts community was unavailable for online study. Perhaps it never happened. I had 850 paper articles about the topic.

Las Vegas Arts in Digital Media is both a physical collection of news articles (hosted at the Nevada Museum of Art) and an online archive that attempts to establish a digital footprint for the arts in Las Vegas.
