The UNLV Special Collections Photograph Collection of Book Illustrations (approximately 1900-2000) consists of photographic reproductions of book illustrations. The images relate to the history of Nevada, with a lesser focus on the broader American West.

The Paul Lavern Cummings Papers are comprised of Cummings' personal papers, photographs, and audiovisual materials dating from 1927 to 2018.

The majority of the collection documents his career working at Finnochio’s, a nightclub in San Francisco, California. Materials in this collection includes correspondence, newspaper clippings, sheet music arrangements, photographs, digital audio files, and ephemera. The collection also includes interviews and biographical research material about Cummings and other female and male impersonators.
