The Architecture Studies Library will be closed until further notice due to excessive heat.

Lied Library will be closed on Thursday, June 18, due to an air conditioning issue.

Students examine material from the Syphus-Bunker Papers (T-85) for a class assignment. 

Have you ever wondered  what comes out of the research conducted in Special Collections? A new blog post for UNLV Research Week, "A Laboratory for the Study of Las Vegas and Gaming," provides some insight into the many scholarly works that have utilized our important historical manuscript collections and books.  We hope that it will inspire students and faculty in a variety of disciplines to think about the kinds of discoveries that they can make about our region's rich history and the history of gaming in UNLV Special Collections.
