Preferred Citation Glenn Davis Photograph Collection, approximately 1914-1960. PH-00020. Special Collections, University Libraries, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Las Vegas, Nevada. ^ Return to Table of Contents Biographical Note American photographer Glenn Augustus Davis was born March 22, 1894 in Portland, Oregon. He attended school in Oregon and Washington prior to working in the lumber camps and saw mills of Washington and British Columbia. He served in the US Army from 1915 to 1920. He was a member of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) on the Western Front in France during World War I. In the years following the war, Davis returned to the US and worked as a cook, a cotton grower, and a seaman before following his passion for photography. Davis studied at Illinois College of Photography and became a professional photographer in 1927. He moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1930 and worked at the Oakes Photographic Studio (later known as the Vegas Studio and Camera Supply). From 1930 to 1941 Davis photographed life in the Las Vegas Valley and the construction of the Hoover Dam (then known as the Boulder Dam). Davis later returned to the State of Washington, where he lived for the remainder of his life. During his lifetime, Davis' photographs received - Page 3- Guide to the Glenn Davis Photograph Collection awards from organizations such as the Royal Photograph Society of London and the Royal Photograph Society of Edinburgh. Davis died March 27, 1980 at the age of 86. Source: Garside, Sherwin (Scoop). "Legacy From Glenn Davis' Camera." The Nevadan, November 3, 1968. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Contents Note The Glenn Davis Photograph Collection (approximately 1914-1960) depicts images of growth, entertainment, and iconic locations in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition, there are images focusing on day- to-day activities in Las Vegas as well as the American Southwest such as gaming, Helldorado parades, prospectors, and wildlife native to the region. The materials provide significant historical documentation of the famed Hoover Dam. The items described include photographic prints, negatives, and slides; some of the prints have corresponding negatives or slides which are not listed separately. Items listed are photographic prints unless otherwise specified. Images listed specifically as negatives exist only in that format. Images listed specifically as slides exist only in that format. ^ Return to Table of Contents Arrangement Note This collection is organized four into series: Series I. Las Vegas, Nevada, 1914-1960; Series II. Hoover Dam, 1930-1940; Series III. The American Southwest, 1930-1949; Series IV. People, 1930-1949 Materials remain in original order. Many of the photographic prints have corresponding negatives and slides. Negatives have been housed separately and can be found in box 4. Slides have been housed separately and can be found in binder 1. ^ Return to Table of Contents - Page 4- Guide to the Glenn Davis Photograph Collection Administrative Information Access The collection is open for research.

It has occupied a criti- cal structural position in the western Cordillera since Mesozoic time. In the Cretaceous through early Tertiary, it stood just east and north of major fold and thrust belts and also marked the northern end of a broad, gently (~15o) north-plunging uplift (Kingman arch) that extended southeastward through much of central Arizona. Mesozoic and Paleozoic strata were stripped from the arch by northeast-flowing streams. Peraluminous 65 to 73 Ma granites were emplaced at depths of at least 10 km and exposed in the core of the arch by earliest Miocene time. Calc-alkaline magmatism swept northward through the northern Colorado River extensional corridor during early to middle Miocene time, beginning at ~22 Ma in the south and ~12 Ma in the north.

Daniel Feuerbach-Research Associate Terry aaumann-Research Associate 0 9210020232 911231 PDR WASTE WM-11 PDR INTRODUCION The annual report of the Center for Volcanic and Tectonic Studies (CVTS) contains a series of papers, maps, reprints and theses that review the progress made by the CVF`S between October 1, 1990 and September 30, 1991. During this period CVIS staff focused on several topics that had direct relevance to volcanic hazards related to the proposed high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. These topics included: (1) The role of the mantle in controlling the location and composition of Pliocene- Holocene volcanism. (2) The nature of boundaries between compositionally different mantle domains. These domain boundaries may control the location of surface faults and volcanism. (3) The detailed geology of the Pliocene volcanic cones in Crater Flat (4) The detailed geology of bedrock to the east of Crater Flat on Yucca Mountain. (5) The structural controls and emplacement mechansims of Pliocene/Quaternary basaltic volcanic centers and dikes. (6) The study of young felsic volcanism in the southern Basin and Range. (7) Estimating the probability of disruption of the proposed repository by volcanic eruption (this topic is being studied by Dr. C Ho-UNLV). Activities CV1S presented papers at several professional meetings including (a) The Geological Society of America Cordilleran Section Meeting in San Francisco- March 25-27, 1991.
