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.

The Meathooks - “Sink Teeth + Fangs” from their 1991 album Cambodia Soul Music on Disastro Mix Records. An obscure blast of noise rock from New York City.
The group I’m part of, Temporary Services, just picked up a USB turntable to use for a future project so I’ll probably be uploading a few MP3s ripped from rare records from time to time. Enjoy!
