Private Book Collection of Beverly Rogers

Beverly Rogers, philanthropist and chair of the Rogers Foundation, gave a tour of a portion of her collection, focusing on 19th century printing practices. Since 2006, she amassed a collection of rare books, from first editions to forgeries. The collection was housed by the Black Mountain Institute in the Beverly Rogers Literature and Law Building on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
