One of the unique and often-referenced treasures of the American Craft Council library is its collection of artists' files.

Currently, files exist for more than 3,000 artists, including those who have been elected to the ACC College of Fellows by their peers or have received Gold Medals from the ACC. Fellows are artists who have demonstrated outstanding artistic achievement, leadership, and service in the craft field for at least 25 years. Gold Medals are awarded for consummate craftsmanship.

The opening of The Egg and The Eye gallery in Los Angeles was added to 1965. This gallery (and omelet restaurant) was the first, and for many years the only, west coast gallery devoted to craft. It later morphed into the Craft and Folk Art Museum.
