Established in the fall of 1996, Southern Methodist University’s William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies promotes research, teaching, and public programming in a variety of fields. The Center supports three annual Research Fellows (year-long, residential fellowships), provides short-term research support for SMU faculty and visiting faculty, subsidizes the publication of books on Southwestern America, including the Library of Texas series, sponsors graduate student research and enriches their intellectual life, particularly Ph.D. students in the departments of History and Anthropology. The Clements Center’s post-doctoral research fellowships are geared to individuals in any field in the humanities or social sciences doing research on Southwestern America or Texas. The fellowships are designed to provide a year away from normal duties for senior or junior scholars to bring book-length manuscripts to completion.
The Clements Center also offered an interdisciplinary major and minor in Southwest Studies for undergraduates at SMU, and invites undergraduate students engaged in advanced research on the Southwest to apply for financial support from the Center. In addition, the Clements Center presents public programming, including lectures, seminars, and symposia, convening monthly meetings of SMU faculty, staff, and graduate students with interests in the Southwest, and awards the annual William P. Clements Prize for the Best Non-Fiction Book on Southwestern America.

This collection contains the records from the origins and early years of the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies, introduced by its Inaugural Symposium in the 1995 – 1996 school year. The symposium included a number of lecturers and was being planned more than a year in advance. Other significant events include the KERA Teacher’s Symposium, held in association with KERA 13, the North Texas PBS affiliate in support of its co-sponsored documentary, "Teaching the U.S.-Mexican War."
In addition, the records of the development of the Clements Center from its origins, circa 1991, are contained, including new course proposals, faculty rosters, and requirements for a major and minor in Southwest Studies, in addition to the PhD program.
Lastly, the records about the fellowships offered by the Clements Center are contained, as well as the papers written by the fellows and other lecturers, including a dissertation by Richard Flint entitled Greater Cruelties Have Been Reported, the 1544 Investigation of the Coronado Expedition, and a book by SMU professors Herbert Dick and Michael Adler entitled Picuris Pueblo Through Time: Eight Centuries of Change at a Northern Rio Grande Pueblo.

Collection was organized, but not coherently. The organizational pattern changed every few years, so it was modified to be consistent throughout the collection.
