THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
Did you know that Northern Nevada minorities have played a significant role in the rich achievements of the Silver State? We encourage you to learn, pursue and share their untold and/or seldom taught contributions.
It is often said that there are a thousand stories in the Naked City. Every house has a bag of untitled pictures, a box of papers stored under a bed or in the back of a closet, to say nothing of those with storage sheds out back, containing untold treasure.
“Our Story, Inc” is all about the stories heretofore untold being brought out, dusted off and shared with the community.
If you’d like to tell YOUR story, we’d be glad to record it. If you would like to donate a previously recorded oral history, we’d be pleased to add it to our collection.
