The University Libraries’ Digital Services department recently partnered with University Advancement on an impactful project to preserve Nevada Silver & Blue, the University’s alumni magazine. Since 2004, Advancement has created and published the magazine, honoring its legacy while helping carry it forward.

The collaboration resulted in the digitization of 209 past issues of Nevada Silver & Blue dating back to 1972. Containing a wealth of campus history, this newly digitized collection enhances the University Archives as it now accompanies other digitized campus publications such as The Nevada Sagebrush, Desert Wolf, Forum, and the Artemesia.

GIVING DAY is TOMORROW. Support a variety of Libraries' initiatives and make a meaningful impact in the life of a University student, researcher, faculty member and more. Each gift given is significant and deeply appreciated.

https://ow.ly/NXZ150YFNj0..

Here is a preview of the different areas available to support:

Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA)
Be a part of sustaining stewardship, digitization, and accessibility of unique collections for generations to come. SCUA connects students, researchers, and community members with original materials that bring history to life and inspire new discoveries.

The Jon Bilbao Basque Library (JBBL)
Help preserve the memory of Basques in the Americas by supporting the Jon Bilbao Basque Library. The JBBL is the leading academic library for Basque studies outside the Basque Country, supporting global research on Basque history, language, culture, and the Diaspora.

The DeLaMare Makerspace
Invest in creativity, hands-on learning, and problem solving and provide opportunities for users to develop transferable skills. The Makerspace in the DeLaMare Science and Engineering Library transforms ideas into reality by providing access to advanced fabrication tools and expert guidance.

The Nevada Writers Hall of Fame
The Nevada Writers Hall of Fame was conceived by former Friends of the University Libraries President Marilyn Melton in 1988. She envisioned two purposes: an annual event honoring Nevada's finest writers, and a stimulus to encourage excellence among emerging writers in the Silver State. Honorees are selected based on their body of work, critical recognition, and a strong connection to Nevada through the themes of their writing or residence in the state.

The University Libraries Dean’s Fund
Help the Dean respond quickly to emerging needs and opportunities that strengthen student success, faculty research, and community engagement throughout the Libraries.
This fund provides flexible support for our high-impact work from innovative teaching and research services to the adoption of new technologies.
