The Bob Dylan Archive

[1] More than 6,000 items, including notebooks, contracts, essays, poems, unreleased concert films and even the leather jacket Dylan wore at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival can be found exhibited at the archive.

[2] While a large majority of this archive are associated with Dylan's efforts in the 1960s, others follow his personal activity, and changing attitudes that shaped the works that he created.

The notable pop culture figure from Minnesota explains that he finds comfort in the "casual hum of the heartland" that Tulsa poses in his mind.

[6] Dylan is quoted stating, "I'm glad that my archives, which have been collected all these years, have finally found a home and are to be included with the works of Woody Guthrie and especially alongside all the valuable artifacts from the Native American Nations.

"[2] In comparison to other institutions that enshrine various artists from the past, such as the Elvis Presley Graceland where you can explore the singer's mansion in Tennessee, or the Jimi Hendrix gallery showcased within the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, Washington, the Bob Dylan Archive is unique, dedicated to a living musician of our present day.
