Nevada, United States, and international case studies, 1970 to 2010
The Nevada, United States, and international case studies series (1970-2010) contains subject files for Clark County and Nye County, Nevada, as well as reports and files for the states of California, New Mexico, and Southern Nevada. The materials consist of subject files and reports concerning the potential socioeconomic, environmental, and health and safety impacts from the site itself to these counties, states, and nations. The Nye County materials contain research interests on radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel from the Nevada Test Site and other military installations in Nevada. Internationally, the series contains research interests on tribal nations within the U.S., such as the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians, the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians, and contentions from the Timbisha Shoshone toward the Yucca Mountain repository.

Hughes HK-1 Hercules photographs, 1945-1947
Materials contain photographs of the HK-1 Hercules, otherwise known as the "Spruce Goose" or the "Flying Boat," from 1945 to 1947. The photographs primarily depict the construction, transportation, and storage of the plane, but also include the first and only test flight of the HK-1 above Los Angeles Harbor in 1947. Howard Hughes designed the HK-1 as the world's largest plane, capable of transporting large quantities of U.S. military hardware and personnel. In 1947, under the program's new designation H-4 Hercules, Hughes had the plane transported from his factory in Culver City, California to Los Angeles Harbor. On November 2, he piloted the plane during its only test flight. The U.S. Air Force abandoned the controversial project, and Hughes was called to testify before the Truman Committee of the U.S. Senate to justify the use of government funds on a program that never succeeded.
