The Basque Studies Collection, housed at the University of Nevada, Reno, is world-renowned as the most extensive collection of materials both by and about the Basque people. Efforts to keep pace with the cataloging backlog of this multilingual collection have met with limited success. This article describes the Basque Cataloging Project, administered from 1993 to 1996 and funded by an HEA Title II-C grant, as it worked to produce cataloging for 10,000 monographic titles. Attention is given to preparation for the project, special considerations in cataloging this unique collection, and recommendations for the future.
