My collection of over 3,000 different original jazz posters is currently being transferred to my Jazz Archive in the Regenstein Library's Special Collections at the University of Chicago. Once the posters are cataloged they will be made available for those doing research. They will not be on display due to the multitude of archives at the University.

The collection spans the time frame from the 1920s to the present (2019). Posters are constantly being added to the collection and will be transferred to the University. My archive consists of posters, flyers, pluggers, programs, tickets, photos, autographs, and other memorabilia related to jazz and is currently available for research, along with the jazz archives of others.
