http://findingaids.library.umass.edu/ead/mums688

The Hollister collection is a diverse assemblage of 94 works by Native American potters, representing a cross-section of southwestern cultures and pueblos. According to Fred A. Rosenstock, who purchased the collection after Hollister's death, the pieces were acquired one or two at a time over several decades, often purchased directly from the artist. Hollister acquired examples from pueblos including Acoma, Cochiti, Hopi, Jemez, Laguna, Maricopa, Picuris, San Ildefonso, San Felipe, San Juan, Santa Clara, Santo Domingo, Taos, Tesusque, Zia, and Zuni. Among the signed pieces are works by major by Lucy Lewis (Acoma); Sadie Adams (Hopi); Tonita Martinez Roybal, Desideria Montoya Sanchez, Maria Montoya Poveka Martinez, and Julian Martinez (San Ildefonso); Damacia Cordero (Cochiti); Lela and Luther Gutierrez (Santa Clara); and Rose Cata Gonzales (San Juan).
