The Basque Library at the University of Nevada, Reno is a place to conduct research about the Basques

We have the largest collection of Basque materials outside of the Basque Country. The focus of the Basque Library is to collect, preserve, and distribute information, regardless of format, on Basques outside of the Basque Country (the Basque diaspora), especially those in the US and other English-speaking countries. We serve as the window for English speakers to the Basque world. Our goal is to gather and distribute everything published in English about the Basques. We also strive to offer the best-published works pertaining to any Basque topics in Basque, Spanish, and French. We work hand in hand with the Center for Basque Studies to support the Faculty, Graduate Students, and Undergraduate Students that are interested in Basque Studies. Please visit the website, email, call or come in to discuss anything related to the Basque culture. Iñaki Arrieta Baro, the Basque Librarian, and Jacqueline Casey, the Basque Library Technician, are available to assist you with requests.

Alumni Assoc Awards & Hall of Fame 2026 - Regular 09/28/2026

The University Libraries are delighted to celebrate Dr. Joxe Mallea-Olaetxe, recipient of the 2026 University Libraries Distinguished Alumnus Award.

For decades, Joxe has dedicated his work to preserving an important piece of Western and Basque history. As the leading scholar of Basque arborglyphs, he documented more than 20,000 tree carvings and built an extraordinary research collection that has deepened our understanding of this unique cultural legacy.

In 2024, Joxe entrusted that collection to the Jon Bilbao Basque Library, where it will continue to support research, teaching, and discovery for years to come.

We are honored to recognize Joxe's remarkable contributions and grateful for all he has done to preserve and share this history.

Please join us in celebrating Joxe at the Nevada Alumni Association Awards & University of Nevada Athletics Hall of Fame Inductees Reception on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at the Joe Crowley Student Union 4th Floor Ballrooms at 6:00pm.

Zorionak, Joxe, and congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!
