The Southwestern Children's Book Collection is a research collection of tales, stories, poems and songs written for children. The collection is also a treasure of artwork with many of the books illustrated, by many well-known artists including Gerald Cassidy, Lorence Bjorklund, Beatien Yazz, Harrison Begay, Conrad Buff, Fred Kabotie, and Paul Goble. The collection began when more than 1,100 books were purchased from a New Mexico bookstore in 1992.
