Architectural Records Collection and Search
In the mid-1980s the Special Collections Department established the Nevada Architectural Archives. Its purpose is to collect the architectural drawings and other records of significant Nevada architects and architectural firms. The basis of the NAA are the drawings of Frederic J. DeLongchamps, considered to be Nevada's preeminent architect. Among the other architects represented in the NAA are Edward S. Parsons, Hewitt Wells, and Raymond Hellman.
