Artists' books are a platform for personal expression created without censorship or outside influence. They are a medium of expression that employs the structure of a book as an inspiration while challenging the conventional contents of a printed volume. Artists' books are produced in limited numbers and are classified as works of art, typically produced by a single creator. The Artists' Book Collection features books from the 1970s to present day.

The Ashley Bryan Art Series Collection contains original pieces of artwork donated by artists who have been honored as the featured illustrator during the Ashley Bryan Art Series at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center.
