Historical note: The Southwest Accessions / Deaccessions Committee committee first met on September 19, 2000, on the eve of the move into the new Center of Southwest Studies facility, to provide advice and guidance on the acquisition and disposal of collection items for the Center and to establish a book reappraisal procedure, which the staffs of Reed Library and the Center used in determining which books stayed at Reed Library and which were brought into the new Center building. As per the email from the Center's Director dated August 11, 2000,"This committee will serve the staff in an advisory role, to ensure that the Center's holdings fit within its collection scope and coincide with the Center's mission. At its regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, July 26, 2000, the staff of the Center of Southwest Studies approved the formation of an Accessions/ Deaccessions Committee. The Committee will be comprised of the Director, the Archivist, the Curator, [and, once the position was added, the Librarian], a representative from the Department of Anthropology, one person to represent both the Department of History and the Department of Southwest Studies (to be selected by their chairs), the Dean of Development [as of 2007, the Executive Director] or a delegate chosen by her, as a representative of the FLC Foundation, and Reed Library's Southwest Studies liaison librarian [or another Reed Librarian], for a total of seven (7) [with the addition of the Center Librarian, 8] members. This is a permanent, standing committee of the Center of Southwest Studies. Committee members may invite other faculty, staff, and friends of the College to participate on occasion, depending upon expertise. The purpose of the committee is to decide whether or not an item (artifact, papers, books, etc.) is to be permanently accepted and accessioned into the collections of the CSWS. Each accession requires the Center to care for the item(s) in perpetuity, a considerable investment of resources in terms of the staff time and physical care necessary."
The guiding policy statements for the Committee are the Center's collection policy, its general restriction access policy, and any other relevant collection management policies of the Center. The Committee has established blanket acquisition authorizations for such as the Fort Lewis College archival materials and for any collections materials that do not exceed 3 linear shelf feet, deferring to the judgment of the relevant professional staff in those cases. The Committee meets on an ad hoc basis, almost always via email.

- Historical note: this program was established in 1975, under the direction of Professor Jim Ash of the History Department from 1975 until 2000, with and Bobbi Vagneur as the Administrative Assistant from 1984 to 2000. By 1993, a total of 130 Fort Lewis College students had studied in Japan, living with Japanese families. It was coordinated through the IES (International Education System) program in Japan which placed Japanese students in various North American universities. Laura Godfrey took over the direction when the program was sold from IES to PIEE (Pacific International Education) in 2000. This sub-group 18.O of the College Archives includes a few files with an assortment of information on the program ranging from newspaper clippings to printed publicity materials. Photographs and other publicity materials show some of the American and Japanese students involved, as well as some of the activities in which they participated. The materials include some very interesting clippings about Manuel Arellan, a former janitor at FLC who fought in a World War II battle on Tarawa and brought home a Japanese flag as a memento. In 1980 he handed it over to Dr. Ash, who in turn located the sister of the fallen soldier in Japan and presented it to her. The records also include an emotional letter written by her, thanking Mr. Arellan. Apparently this event was of great significance in Japan and helped a great deal in giving Fort Lewis's Japan Program a reputable name.
