Lieutenant Commander Bruce Van Voorhis, approximately 1930.
NvSA-000036, OC-1577, Nevada Photograph collection, Nevada State Archives.
Commander Bruce Van Voorhis is one of few Nevadans to have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for service to his country. Bruce Van Voorhis was born in Aberdeen, Washington in 1908 to Walter and Lillie Van Voorhis. His family moved the next year to Churchill County, Nevada. Commander Van Voorhis graduated from Churchill County High School in 1924. He then entered the U.S. Naval Academy and graduated as an Ensign in 1929. By 1942, Commander Van Voorhis had become a naval aviator and reached the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
In 1943, while serving during World War II in the Central Solomons campaign, Lieutenant Commander Van Voorhis volunteered to undertake a mission to strike Japanese facilities and aircraft. During the attack, his plane went down, killing Lieutenant Commander Van Voorhis and his crew. Lieutenant Commander Van Voorhis was posthumously promoted to Commander and awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was also honored in 1959 when the U.S. Naval Auxiliary Air Station at Fallon was renamed for him. On May 31, 1982, Governor Robert List declared the day to be Lieutenant Commander Bruce Avery Van Voorhis Day.

Stories From the Silver State: Ert Moore

Ert Moore (center back row) with students and staff of Beatty school where he was the principal, 1938.
pho005068. Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection, 1880-1990. PH-00221. Special Collections and Archives, University Libraries, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ert Moore contributed to the education of countless children in Nevada communities between 1935 and 1968. Originally from Indiana, Mr. Moore answered an advertisement from a Reno teachers’ agency to teach at a rural school near Pioche, Nevada. The school had a total of five students. After teaching for two years at this school, Mr. Moore moved to the school in Beatty where he was employed both as the principal and a high school teacher. He taught most of the high school subjects including English, history, biology, math, and physical education. Ert Moore remained at Beatty until he was called up to be a defense worker at the Basic Magnesium plant in Gabbs Valley in 1942.
During World War II several families moved to Gabbs Valley to work at the Basic Magnesium plant, but there was no school in the area. The plant workers were eventually successful in petitioning to start a school for their children. Because Mr. Moore was working at the plant as a defense worker and had previously worked with isolated rural schools, he was asked to be the principal of the new school. Initially, there was no building available for the Gabbs Valley school. During the school’s first year, classes were taught in six tents owned by Basic Magnesium. With very few resources, Mr. Moore worked hard to educate the children of the community and make sure the school had a proper building by the next school year. After World War II, the Gabbs Valley school facilities belonged to the War Assets Administration. In 1948, Ert Moore worked on an application to the federal government to have the school buildings and land transferred to the Toiyabe School District. The application was successful and the property was transferred to Toiyabe School District for $1.
Mr. Moore continued to be the principal of the Gabbs Valley school until 1957. He went on to be the principal of several schools in Reno before retiring in 1968.
You can learn more about Mr. Moore by reading the
transcript of his oral history
conducted as part of the UNR Oral History Program.

Stories From the Silver State: Stoutmeyer v Duffy

State ex rel. Stoutmeyer v. Duffy, 7 Nev. 342 (1872), Relations Brief, filed May 3, 1871, NvSA-000205, Nevada Supreme Court records, Nevada State Archives. Click to view full document.
Stoutmeyer v. Duffy (1871) was an early landmark segregation case that challenged a Nevada law that denied children of color access to public schools.
Nelson Stoutmeyer, a Black resident of Carson City, petitioned the Ormsby County school board to enroll his seven-year-old son. The school board refused. Mr. Stoutmeyer sued. The case moved through the Ormsby County District Court and was ultimately appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court.
The Nevada Supreme Court Justices were split 2-1, but eventually ruled that the exclusion of Black children from public schools was unconstitutional. However, the court also held that the state could segregate students by race so long as separate schools offered the “same advantages of education.”
In 1873, the segregation clause of the Nevada School Law of 1865 was formally repealed by the Nevada Legislature. In addition, Senate Bill 13 was passed to require all children between ages eight and fourteen years to attend school for a minimum amount of time.
The full Nevada Supreme Court Stoutmeyer v. Duffy case is available for viewing at the Nevada State Archives.

With a little help from a sack of flour, Reuel Colt Gridley served his country in an unconventional but effective way. In 1864, storekeeper Reuel Colt Gridley lost a wager over the outcome of the Austin mayoral election. The terms of the wager required Mr. Gridley to carry a fifty-pound sack of flour along Main Street, marching to the tune of “Old John Brown.” The procession culminated at Grimes & Gibson’s Saloon where the sack of flour was auctioned off multiple times to raise money for the Sanitary Commission—a precursor to the Red Cross that provided support for the health and wellbeing of Union soldiers. The sack of flour raised over $4,549 in cash and thousands of dollars’ worth of property donations. After the event in Austin, Mr. Gridley traveled around the country with the sack of flour and continued to raise money. In total, he raised $275,000 for the Sanitary Fund—around $5,677,300 in today’s money!

Stories From the Silver State: Marjorie Lee Mortensen

Marjorie Lee Mortensen receiving Governor’s Outstanding Achievement Award from
Governor Mike O’Callaghan (
OC-1604, Nevada State Archives).
Marjorie Lee Mortensen, the first full-time professional librarian for the Nevada Historical Society, helped make Nevada’s historical materials available to others. In 1974, Ms. Mortensen won the Governor’s Outstanding Achievement Award for her work in reorganizing and cataloguing the collections held by the Nevada Historical Society. After its founding in 1904, frequent relocations caused some of the Society’s historical materials to become disorganized and unidentified. Ms. Mortensen’s project led to the discovery and identification of several important collections including the papers of Nevada’s first U.S. senator, William Morris Stewart. Ms. Mortensen also developed a system to assign call numbers, locations, and subject headings to each collection. Ms. Mortensen’s supervisor declared that “to have accumulated, sorted, and catalogued all of the manuscript collections that have been gathered over seven decades within one year has been nothing short of herculean.”
Ms. Mortensen retired from the Nevada Historical Society in 2000, but her legacy of supporting the Nevada Historical Society continued through the Mortensen Nevada Historical Trust Fund which she established in 2003.

Winifred Anderson operating a switchboard for the Department of Employment Security in Las Vegas, 1961 (PER-0084, Nevada State Archives).
Winifred Anderson (1909-1984) worked as a stenographer for many years before her life took an unexpected turn. At 40 years old, she lost her sight due to an eye ailment. For several years after, she lived with her children and was active in the Las Vegas sightless community. In 1959, she made the courageous decision to upend her life and move alone to Los Angeles to enroll at the Braille Institute. Referred by George Majors from the Nevada Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, Mrs. Anderson trained to be a switchboard operator using a special Braille switchboard attachment.
Director Edwin Sorrels of the Braille Institute was quoted: “
[Mrs. Anderson’s] dedication to learning this task has been extraordinary and there is no reason why she cannot earn her living with dignity back in Nevada.
” In 1959, she returned to Las Vegas and was hired as a switchboard operator for the Nevada Department of Employment Security. Her hiring was part of a state and federal effort to expand public employment services and create more job opportunities for people with disabilities. In 1961, Mrs. Anderson was nominated for National Handicapped Woman of the Year.

In 2026, as the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, America250 initiatives are collecting and preserving the unique stories of people across the country. Service, community, and personal legacy are three of the themes of this national storytelling project.
Building on these national themes, the Nevada State Archives exhibit,
Stories From the Silver State
, calls attention to Nevadans who served our communities, our state, and our country in days gone by. Through historical documents, photographs, and audio recordings, these stories demonstrate the indomitable spirit and fierce independence that characterize Nevadans.
From the 1864 storekeeper who raised a quarter of a million dollars for Union soldiers’ healthcare to the 1973 Girl Scout who saved a child from drowning, these inspiring stories illustrate the power we have as individuals to improve the lives of those around us. Many of the Nevadans featured in the exhibit, such as service members, legislators, and community activists, left legacies that advanced freedom and equality—the key values expressed in the Declaration of Independence, which America250 commemorates today.

Exhibit Spotlight: WWI Balloon Observer Uniform

(Service Coat: CM-0161-G-043a-b; Belt: CM-1684-G-029)
Each year on November 11, Americans observe Veterans Day — a time to honor all who have served in the United States armed forces. The holiday traces its roots to the close of World War I and the signing of the Armistice  on November 11, 1918 that ended fighting on the Western Front. Originally known as Armistice Day, the holiday has evolved to recognize veterans of all eras.
In honor of Veteran's Day, we spotlight a World War I Balloon Observer Uniform that is on display as part of the Nevada State Archives "All For Our Country" exhibit. The balloon observer's duty was to ascend in a hot air balloon to identify the location of artillery fall during combat.
WWI Balloon Observer garrison cap on loan courtesy of the Nevada State Museum, Carson City
This uniform was worn by a U.S. Army captain, specified by the two metallic rectangles embroidered on his cap. The half wing insignia on the left breast of the jacket signifies that the captain was a hot air balloon observer. The drab olive wool service coat is displayed with a Sam Browne belt and garrison cap with red piping. The jacket features Maurice Bourbon & Paris buttons which suggests that the uniform was custom made in France circa 1917-1918.
The Sam Browne belt features a narrow strap over the right shoulder. Originally, the belt enabled the wearer to carry and easily retrieve his sword; during World War I it facilitated carrying additional gear such as a pistol. The garrison cap is also known as a flight cap, wedge cap, or field service cap. When not worn, it was folded over the belt.
This exhibit offers a fascinating glimpse into the experiences of early military aviators and the technological innovations that shaped modern warfare — a fitting tribute to those who served then and now.
Nevada Archives Month 2025 honors the 250th birthday of the U.S. Armed Forces (June 14, 1775) and Nevadans who served their country. Funding for Archives Month is provided by the

Help Shape Nevada’s Library Future: Statewide Masterplan Surveys Now Open
11/10/2025
Rachel Lunden
No Subjects
The Nevada State Library, Archives, and Public Records (NSLAPR) is partnering with Dr. Fred Steinmann from the University of Nevada, Reno to develop a new five year statewide masterplan designed to strengthen and support Nevada's entire library ecosystem.
This planning process includes public libraries, school libraries, academic libraries, special libraries, archives, and the many partners who intersect with library services across Nevada.
We Need Your Voice
To help guide this work, we are collecting input from two important groups:
Internal Stakeholders: library staff, trustees and board members, Friends groups, and other internal partners. Please fill out the
Internal Stakeholders Survey
External Stakeholders: patrons, community members, civic partners, educators, organizations, and other users who engage with libraries. Please fill out the
External Stakeholders Survey
Both surveys are now open. If you have not yet responded to the internal survey or shared it with your internal stakeholders, please do so. We are also asking all libraries to share the external survey widely through newsletters, email lists, social media, community boards, and partner organizations.
For youth serving libraries and K-12 environments, please share the external survey with parents rather than directly with minors.
Why This Matters
Libraries in Nevada are evolving rapidly, from digital resources, to collaboration across agencies, to new community roles. This masterplan will define statewide priorities, identify needs, and help build a more unified future across all library types. Your feedback directly influences the direction and recommendations in this plan.
Thank You
Thank you to every director, staff member, board, partner, and patron participating in this process. Your perspective is essential as we help build a stronger and more connected Nevada library ecosystem for the next five years.
If you have any questions about this strategic planning effort, please reach out to Fred Steinmann, at 775-784-1655 or
fred@unr.edu
