Preserving History. Creating Knowledge.
The Center for Colorado & the West (CC&W) at Auraria Library advances understanding of Rocky Mountain history. Signature projects enrich educational experiences for students on the Auraria Higher Education Center campus and beyond. Students selected as Kenneth King Foundation Fellows and interns work with faculty supervisors to build unique digital research collections, oral histories, and mini-documentaries. Active partnerships with Denver Public Library and the Colorado Historical Society ensure coordinated efforts to further public history scholarship on Colorado and the West.
