The CA+E Archive collects materials related to projects created in and about natural, built, and virtual environments. The first major gift to the Archive was from Joan and G. Robert Deiro, who donated the Deiro Collection of materials related to Earthworks artists Michael Heizer and Walter De Maria. The Archive is currently pursuing archival materials from artists and organizations around the world.

Recently acquired archives include materials by artists from six continents, including the Land Art of the American West program at the University of New Mexico, the international Center for Land Use Interpretation/Wendover Residency Program, the Guandu International Sculpture Exhibition in Taiwan, and Lita Albuquerque's Stellar Axis, the first large-scale installation work done in the Antarctic.
