Rural Oasis

An online data center, Rural Oasis is meant to provide both information and hands-on assistance which not only fills the gaps in human knowledge about what it means to be rural, but also those in one's individual ability to exist as rural.

NCKCN is a wireless network stretching from southern Nebraska to Salina and beyond. It is one of the earliest examples of how a wireless network can connect communities without the need for cable or fiber.

Eye on Kansas

Eye on Kansas explores what makes Kansas our home:

• Creativity,
  
  
• Inspiration,
  
  
• Imagination.

As part of Rural Oasis, Eye on Kansas is not just a historical record, but also a library of Kansas, illuminating a state to its people, preserving its stories and adding new ones. It will be the words, image, and sounds that make this state what it is: our home.
