Highlights In the summer of 1970, Mrs. Yoshi Hendricks joined the library staff of the University of Nevada, Reno. Mrs. Hendricks is a library cataloguer who comes to us from the University of Texas. She has specialized skills in the area of Basque Studies since she resided near Pamplona for four years and attended the University of Navarra. Mrs. Hendricks is currently engaged in cataloguing the Basque collection. Last fall the first volume of Professor Jon Bilbao’s Eusko-Bibliographia was published in Europe. It is the first of several volumes which will continue to appear at intervals. It may be obtained by writing directly to: Editorial Auñamendi, Esnaola 13, San Sebastián, Spain. In March there was an exhibit at the University of Nevada, Reno, Library entitled “Basques in the New World.” Mrs. Yoshi Hendricks and her husband were instrumental in preparing it. In June there will be a similar exhibit in the Washoe County Library (Reno). In October William Douglass, Program Coordinator, gave a paper at the annual meeting of the Western History Association entitled “The Basques of the American West: Preliminary Historical Perspectives.” The paper was later published in the winter 1970 issue of Nevada Historical Society Quarterly. In November William Douglass and Milton da Silva of Juniata College (Huntington, Pennsylvania) gave a paper at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, entitled “Basque Nationalism.” In April William Douglass and Stanford Lyman of the University of California, San Diego, gave a paper at the annual meetings of the Pacific Sociological Association, entitled, “On the Nature of Ethnicity.” During the winter of 1970, Robert Laxalt, Program Advisor, published a book entitled Nevada, which is part of a series published by Coward-McCann Co. called “States of the Nation.” Dr. William Jacobsen, Jr., Program Coordinator of Basque Linguistics, is currently visiting professor in the Linguistics Department of the University of California, Berkeley. In March three representatives of French National Radio visited Reno along with two members of the San Francisco Basque Club. They interviewed members of our staff as part of a general program, for presentation in France, on the history and current situation of the Basques of the American West. |
