Classic Nevada * * * Store * * *

What started out several years ago as research for a book on Goldfield, Nevada turned into a collection of the publications of the Mining and Scientific
Press. As we did the research, we found information covering many other subjects that captured our interest. We began to gather a library of back issues
but would sometimes have to borrow from other sources to complete a project. We found that issues varied widely in price and availability. We then
determined that there might be others interested in the publications and that instead of scanning or copying the documents only for ourselves, we could scan
them and make them available for other researchers. Each CD contains one year’s worth of scanned images of the original publications with all images, text
and advertisements intact. Each weekly edition has been reproduced in its entirety as received, and in some cases shows where damage might have taken
place to the original material over the last 100 to 140 years since they were first issued. We have compiled these records from a variety of sources by
making arrangements to borrow from other collections those issues or pages which were not in our personal library of back issues. There are missing
pages and in some cases, missing weeks but the lost material is indicated on the information document of every CD. As we are able to gain access to lost
or currently unavailable data, we will update the CD. If you have copies of missing or damaged pages or issues, please contact our web site at
Classicnevada.com and we may be able come to an arrangement.

These documents were individually scanned at high resolutions using the latest technology in order to make them readily available to the researcher. You
don’t have to dig in dusty antique stores or use gloves in a historical library to touch them. You don’t need to pay $2 (or more) a page to make poor
resolution copies (been there, done that). You don’t even need a microfiche reader to access them, just your computer with a way to view JPEG images.
(The program is already installed on most computers!)

CDs can be ordered individually or as a set where indicated. More years will be added as the necessary collecting, sorting, scanning and editing are
finished. These CDs are full of interesting and entertaining information about the latest discoveries, current ideas and important issues of the day. BUT
REMEMBER, SOME OF THE TECHNIQUES MENTIONED CAN BE DANGEROUS!!! These CDs are still an important resource for people interested in
researching older scientific methods, genealogical background, mining camps and rushes as well as the important people of the day.

This project is ongoing and has taken a great many hours to complete and a great deal of time and money to find, buy, borrow, and ship the material in
order to produce these CDs. While the information on these CDs is no longer under copyright, these newly produced images are! This means that while
you can use the material, images and information to your hearts content (NO PLAGiERIZING PLEASE!) please don’t make copies of this disk to pass
around. Also you will need permission from ClassicNevada.com in order to use them for other than personal research.
