Public Collectors is founded upon the concern that there are many types of cultural artifacts that public libraries, museums and other institutions and archives either do not collect or do not make freely accessible. Public Collectors asks individuals that have had the luxury to amass, organize, and inventory these materials to help reverse this lack by making their collections public.
This page consists of sample findings and excerpts. It is also an account of the contents of my home and digital files from my camera. If you have suggestions, have a collection you want to share, or are in Chicago and would like to see something in person, please contact me. This blog is intended as a casual, more personal supplement to the main Public Collectors website.

Public Collectors has limitless Summer tasks at hand but one project that hopefully will happen later in the Summer will be to better inventory and organize my ‘zine collection. I’ll be scanning some more covers today to take a short break from house work and packing. Here is Suburban Voice No. 27, 1989. Published by Al Quint, Lynn, MA. More cover scans from my collection of ‘zines from the 1980s and 90s here.
