Our Location

If you are using a GPS or mapping from an online tool or taking a taxi, please make sure to use our street address NOT our mail address.
987 E. Harmon Ave.
Las Vegas, Nevada
DO NOT use our mailing address, 4505 Maryland Pkwy, as it will put you on the wrong end of campus.

Parking Info

For researchers who plan to spend an extended period in Special Collections, it may be more convenient to purchase a day or week pass from UNLV Parking Services, which will enable you to park in any student space.
