Abstract
In this presentation, I will showcase some of the materials related to gambling and the gaming industry held by Special Collections and Archives in the University Libraries at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The materials described will include manuscript collections of casino corporate archives, gaming industry periodicals, books related to responsible gaming and gaming regulation, and more. I will explain how to access and use these collections in person in the Special Collections and Archives reading room and remotely through our online portal. Finally, I will end the presentation by discussing some of the ways these sources have been used and various research projects they’ve inspired and supported.
