The Quiñones-Keber Collection of Aztec and Mexican Colonial Art Resources is one of the most impactful and significant collection acquisitions the Library has made in recent years. This collection of more than 6,000 volumes reflecting the deep and varied interests of renowned art historian Eloise Quiñones-Keber has cross-curricular potential for teaching, learning and student success. It is a unique collection not just within the CSU, but within the United States. The Library is in a three-year process of making the collection fully available to our campus and community for use.

Here are some updates:

Quiñones-Keber Collection: Phase one completed, materials now becoming available for teaching and research

The Library has completed phase one of the Quiñones-Keber Collection project, establishing the workflows and processing infrastructure needed to make materials available for campus use. Collection items are now being cataloged and shelved in the Library’s Featured Collections Area (first floor), expanding access to these specialized resources that support instruction, research and interdisciplinary scholarship. This milestone reflects coordinated efforts across Library units and campus partners and represents a significant step toward fully integrating the collection into Fresno State’s academic programs.

Experiential Learning in Action: Interns advance collection access while exploring librarianship

Through a partnership with the College of Arts and Humanities, Spanish-major interns like Alondra Muratalla Farias (pictured above) worked alongside the Library’s cataloging team to process materials from the Quiñones-Keber Collection. In addition to receiving training in national cataloging standards and library systems, the interns made meaningful contributions to accelerating access to the collection. The collaboration highlights the Library’s role in supporting high-impact student experiences while strengthening campus capacity to steward and activate this distinctive academic resource.
