Tim Guill has been awarded The Hemingway Western Studies Center Western Studies Summer Research Grant (2012). He used the $600 to go to the Basque archives located at University of Nevada, Reno.

He is going to submit his paper for publication in the inaugural issue of the Society of Basque Studies Journal.
