The Center of Southwest Studies (CSWS) is located on the Fort Lewis College Campus in Durango, Colorado. The center includes our Southwest special collection libraries and archives and a museum where art and artifact collections are displayed in interpretive exhibits. For over fifty years, the CSWS collections have grown to include The Durango Collection® of Navajo, Puebloan and Hispanic textiles, a large fine art collection including numerous Native American paintings and works on paper, ethnographic materials and archaeological artifacts, historic photographs, postcards, documents, maps, and special-collections books. The Center of Southwest Studies presents interpretive exhibitions, lectures, and programs; teaches students through active hands-on learning experiences; and serves researchers and scholars throughout the world interested in topics related to the ancient history and present-day cultures of the Southwest.
