The Wittliff Collections including the Southwestern Writers Collection and the Southwestern & Mexican Photography Collection at Texas State University are dedicated to establishing and enhancing relationships with the cultural arts community and philanthropic leaders on a local, state, national, and international level.  To help achieve this goal, the Wittliff Collections have established an Advisory Board to serve as an interface between the University and the public at large. Board members play a critical role in carrying out the Collection’s mission to preserve the cultural arts of the region by interacting with colleagues and friends to relate the accomplishments and goals of the Collections, and  by assisting with fundraising initiatives.
