=== Overall Objectives  ===
== Purpose ==


The purpose of the NevadaWiki Project is to help readers find and use Nevadaresources and records for genealogy and family history. The project will update and improve:
To increase valuable content on the Nevada pages.


*Nevada county pages. Example [[Clark County, Nevada|Clark Nevada]]

*'''Highlight important and relevant items'''. Long lists of every website or every publication would bury, rather than highlight, what's important.
== Task List ==
