Latin American Slide Collection
The Visual Resources Library of MSU's Department of Art has been acquiring visual materials in the areas of Precolombian and Latin American art and architecture to facilitate lectures and research.

The Precolombian slide collection includes imagery of Mesoamerican and Andean cultures as well as those of Intermediate Central and South American and Caribbean regions.
