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.

One of the most heavily used areas of the Public Collectors website is the section devoted to PDFs of complete publications. Today I made a new addition to the PDF family: a scan of the rare and out of print title Domebook 1, by Lloyd Khan, Robert Easton and others and published by Pacific Domes in 1970. This PDF was created by an anonymous donor. To download the 131.4 meg file, click here.
