Abstract
The study of children's art spans the disciplines of fine art, history, social and political sciences, and psychology. There are relatively few cohesive children's art collections. One such collection, the International Collection of Child Art (ICCA), comprises more than 10,000 works from the latter half of the twentieth century and resides at Illinois State University's Milner Library. This article describes the collection, discusses its acquisition by the library, and presents specific uses of this collection in research and teaching. Recent grant-funded initiatives, which have helped to successfully fund research and development of the collection and enhance access for users through digitization, are also featured.
