Founded in 1979, this is a unique and growing collection of original art spanning an era from the early 20th century to the present day. It includes over 4000 objects, such as illustrations, preparatory materials, books and manuscripts by more than one hundred American artists, with New Jersey contributions well represented. The Roger Duvoisin Gallery for Children's Book Illustration offers regularly changing exhibitions from the Rutgers Collection's holdings.
