The University of Northern Colorado, founded as Colorado State Normal School in 1889, has had a curriculum materials collection in its library since 1896. This early collection contained textbooks, pictures, "apparatus," games, toys, and school furniture. It constituted a pristine example of a curriculum materials center in an American school of teacher education. Despite some periods of neglect, the collection was maintained in various states to support teacher education. In recent years, it has been better supported and today contains all the formats on an up-to-date curriculum collection in the James A. Michener Library on the University's West Campus in Greeley, Colorado.
