In the early 1850s, some Basque people became disillusioned by the pickings in the gold fields of California. A number of them decided to raise sheep instead and spread across the American West. This vast digital collection from the University of Nevada at Reno brings together hundreds of images that document the Basque experience in the West and Europe. The images here include shots of arborglyphs, dancers, Basque festivals, monuments, and sheepherding. Visitors can make their way through over 3,200 images here, and they can search them by keyword or just browse around as they wish. First-time visitors should definitely pay close attention to the works of Richard Lane. Lane began photographing the sheep camps of northeastern Nevada in 1969, and he dedicated himself to filming "this disappearing way of life in all its complexity, including lambing, trailing, shearing, docking, shipping, and both winter and summer herding."
