Nevada Heritage Playing Cards documentation

Presented here is a PDF scan of a report giving background information on a set of playing cards produced to highlight Nevada heritage sites. The National Park Service has also retained a box of the playing cards as part of its archival holdings. From first page of documentation: "The Nevada Rock Art Foundation, along with the State Historic Preservation Office and the Nevada 150 Commission, created a deck of commemorative playing cards to highlight some of Nevada's spectacular cultural and natural resources. The images were chosen by a broad coalition of partners, including the Governor's Office, the Lieutenant Governor's Office, state departments and agencies such as the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs and the divisions of Nevada Natural Heritage and State Parks, federal resource agencies and preservation organizations across the state such as Preserve Nevada. The playing card decks, funded through a federal grant, will be divided for distribution among the nearly 25 partner organizations involved in the cards' creation." Funding for this project was provided in part through a fiscal year 2013 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office (project number NV-13-006, grant number P13AF00057) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
