Colección de Lenguas Indígenas

The Colección de Lenguas Indígenas ("Collection of Indigenous Languages") is an archival collection of 166 books held by the Public Library of the State of Jalisco, part of the University of Guadalajara in Mexico. The books contain examples and studies of the indigenous languages spoken in and around what became modern-day Mexico. Dating from 1547 to 1904, they are sources for scholarship of the indigenous languages of the Americas and of historical linguistics.

Since 2007, the collection has been included in the Memory of the World International Register maintained by UNESCO.
