The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Libraries is proud to announce
the relaunching/newly-revised version of "Early Las Vegas," a digital
exhibition using historical photographs, video and audio clips, and
research collections contained in the Special Collections Department of the
UNLV Libraries.

Based on best practices exemplified by the Denver Public Library, and
incorporating the CONTENTdm digital content management software system,
"Early Las Vegas" is divided into six photographic galleries:  The
Cottages, The Depot, Early Las Vegas, Fremont Street, Hoover Dam, and Night
Club Las Vegas.  Each of these galleries is designed to simulate an actual
gallery experience by having the user move horizontally through the
exhibit.  Each item in the gallery has been cataloged in CONTENTdm in the
Dublin Core (DC) metadata standard.  Suitable commentary and research
related to the photographs, and the video and audio clips, is included in
each exhibit.  In addition, the Hoover Dam gallery has an extended version,
that includes much more research and content regarding the construction of
the dam.

The video and audio clips can be viewed by downloading the free RealPlayer
software.  Information on doing this is provided at the website.

This revised digital exhibit was the result of a UNLV New Investigator
Award (NIA) granted to the Head, Bibliographic and Metadata Services
Department of the UNLV Libraries, and the Manuscripts Librarian, UNLV
Special Collections Department, in collaboration with the UNLV Department
of History.  All comments and suggestions regarding the content and design
of the website are appreciated, and can be directed to Brad Eden, Head,
