The Collections

Discover the hidden treasures in public and private collections. Join us in attics, basements, and garages chock full of amazing photos, recordings, video, victrolas, player piano rolls, posters, and other ephemera. Michael takes us through the nation’s most prestigious libraries.

We’ve even got audio examples of rare recordings that would otherwise be lost forever. And have a look at our video clips for examples of rare film clips, television appearances, and interviews with the collectors themselves.
