The images selected for this project focus on architecture, city life, people, transportation and other aspects of urban development, such as neighborhoods, commercial streets, and business districts.
Basque Posters

Basque Posters

University of Nevada, Reno

Over the years, Basques and their friends have given posters and brochures to the Basque Library and Center for Basque Studies. Upon examining the posters, library staff found a wealth of colorful and interesting images among them. Some posters represent festivals in the Basque Country and the United States. Others were produced in conjunction with art exhibits or conferences. Of special interest are posters showing Basque clothing and customs. All display the creativity and vigorous spirit of Euskaldunak, the Basque people.
Blues Photographs

Blues Photographs

Taken by a variety of photographers, these images help document the blues from the beginning of its popularity in the 1920's through today. The photographs highlight performers, festivals, and locations important to the blues.
