It was at this time that the director of UNLV Special Collections and Archives, Sarah Quigley, reached out to the University of Nevada, Reno Special Collecitons and University Archives to coordinate a transfer of the album. It is unknown how the UNLV Special Collections and Archives acquired the album.
