Founded in 2009 and situated in downtown Denver, the Center for Colorado & the West at Auraria Library (CC&W) advances understanding of Rocky Mountain history. Signature projects enrich educational experiences for students on the Auraria Higher Education Center campus. Students selected as Kenneth King Foundation Fellows and interns work with faculty supervisors to build unique digital research collections, review Colorado publications, and produce 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.
