Jazz collection for NYC repository



I have been contacted by a gentleman in Maine who grew up in
New York City and whose father was a jazz musician playing with
Cab Calloway and others. He has a large Jazz LP collection, a
photograph from 1940s of Cab Calloway and his father, and a
billhead from the Cotton Club featuring Lena Horne and dating from
1934.

He is most interested in donating the material to a NYC institution
because of his and his father's assoications. He is also considering
donating the LPs to a Maine institution.

I told him I would gather information on institutions who might be
interested. If you are please contact me and include information on
how he might contact your institution.

Thanks.
