About the department
Part of Distinctive Collections, The University of Nevada, Reno Archives and Special Collections is home to the University Archives and a variety of Special Collections including rare books, book arts, manuscripts, and maps.
We can help you use the materials for your own use, research, or publication. We also welcome classes and the opportunity to help instructors craft assignments or experiences using the department and its resources. We appreciate our community partners and individuals who donate to add to our archival collections.
