The William A. Douglass Center for Basque Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno was established in 1967 as part of the Desert Research Institute that was creating new programs to reach various aspects of the area’s inhabitants and history. The idea to study Basques was proposed due to the Basques being a prominent minority in the region who had contributed greatly to its development. Fifty years later, the Center has evolved and become the largest Basque Studies program outside of the Basque Country. Its past, present and future were all celebrated on November 8th.
