The Civic Historical Research Project was designed to help provide crucial information for researchers tracing family lineage. Much of the information from Southern Nevada was unavailable, particularly vital statistics included on cemetery headstones that had not yet been recorded. The Civic Historical Research Project appears to have been a Boy Scouts of America "Eagle Service Project." Paul Vance was asked to provide a census of the headstones located in the Lincoln County town cemeteries of Bullionville, Panaca, and Caliente.
