Overview
The Center for Southwest Research (CSWR) is the Special Collections area of Zimmerman Library, University of New Mexico. Included in the holdings of the Center are several collections of Spanish and Mexican era documents for New Mexico and the wider New Spain region. There are several places to search for these holdings, which include books, microfilm, and manuscript collections.
