The online exhibit "Welcome Home Howard; or Whatever Became of the Daring Aviator?" has been revamped and recreated as a new ContentDM digital collection. In ContenDM, the collection will have greater search capabilities and features.
This collection features photographic images and portraits documenting Howard Hughes. There are 180 images selected from two collections: The Howard Hughes Collection and the Hughes Electronics Collection. All collections are housed at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the Special Collections at the University Libraries.
Welcome Home, Howard!: or Whatever Became of the Daring Aviator? began as a web exhibit created by Special Collections to showcase its Howard Hughes collections in the wake of the publicity surrounding Martin Scorsese's 2004 biopic about Howard Hughes, The Aviator. The photographs and documents were selected, and the contextual narrative written by Peter Michel, Director of Special Collections.
Enjoy this and other digital collections on the Special Collections website.
