Please forgive duplicate postings 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.
