Welcome to the University Archives pages! The University Archives in Special Collections
is the repository for the permanent records of the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas. Besides keeping files of university publications
and reports, the University Archives contain the records of the
administrative offices including the President, Provost, Vice
Presidents and Deans, as well as of the academic colleges, schools,
departments, and other university units. The archives also contain architectural drawings and plans for the campus, photographs and slides, faculty papers, and records of the Board of Regents and other selected records of the University of Nevada System.
University Archives Series:
UNLV’s Special Collections was established in July 1967 as the first repository for historical documents in southern Nevada, including important materials on the early history of the university – the University Archives. The records within the University Archives are divided into five series. Click here for a list of the University Archives Series.
The University Archives also houses the original copies of all theses and dissertations submitted by UNLV students and accepted by the university for a degree. All theses are catalogued and accessible through the library catalog. A bound circulating copy is available in the general stacks. The original copies can also be accessed via index cards for those papers submitted prior to 1996, and via a database within the department for those written from 1996 to the present. Please note that full-text versions of all UNLV theses and dissertations from 1996 to the present can be accessed via the library's website under Indexes and Databases at Digital Dissertations/UMI Current Research and are available free to UNLV students, faculty, and staff.
UNLV's 50th Anniversary Links:
The following links have been created by Special Collections to provide students, faculty and researchers more general information on the history of the university. The creation of these links coincides with the celebration of the university's 50th anniversary which will be held in 2007. The list includes a link to UNLV's Office of Community Relations' 50th Anniversary homepage.
