Established in 1995, the Great Basin Institute was created as a California nonprofit public benefit (501c3) corporation by a group of ranchers and researchers to promote the protection, research and education of the geological, natural and human history of the Great Basin. Through its focus of interpreting cultural heritage resources to the public, it has worked with private and public agencies to facilitate educational, research and interpretive programs, including the collection and preservation of oral histories and the maintenance and curating of artifacts.
