Special Collections Exhibits
Las Vegas 100 Years Ago ||Final History of Springer Hall ||Life at Fort Union || NMHU Theater Archives||
The Donnelly Library’s Special Collections house photographs, maps, letters, and other documents that are a valuable resource for understanding the history of Highlands University and Las Vegas. With the goal of making these collections more accessible to the public, Media Arts and Technology graduate students were tasked with creating slideshows and videos on topics they chose, using material found within. Their pieces offer glimpses into the archives that will hopefully inspire others to explore, contribute to, and utilize the collections in understanding and sharing local history, culture, and identity.
The photographs included in this slide show were taken chiefly from the Citizens’ Committee for Historic Preservation (CCHP) Photograph Collection.
