The center is working to digitalize the majority of its materials so they are more accessible to students, faculty and the public. "The digitalization of these materials is utterly crucial," Basso said. "We don't want these oral histories and historical records to be lost to technological advancement." At the opening reception, O'Neil was recognized for his commitment to preserving Western history with the establishment of the Floyd A. O'Neil American Indian Archive under the special collections archive at the Marriott Library. "Fort Douglas has been a figure to the West, but (a) complicated figure because it was originally a cavalry force that was used to exterminate Utahn natives (American Indians). During World War II, Fort Douglas served as a base for our forces and supplies," Basso said. "We celebrate those cavalries like the cowboys, but the Center hopes to raise awareness on these complications in the American West's history." Students!
