Public Records Requests
Requests for public records consistent with the State of Nevada's Public Records statutes (NRS 239) for public books and public records not determined to be confidential or privileged will be made available for public view or copy. Requests must be submitted in writing to determine if a public record exists with NSHPO and to inspect or copy the physical file.
