The Heston Collection contains some archival collections of papers, photographs, scrapbooks, etc. that are preserved together for research. These collections are unique and many contain primary source documents which cannot be found elsewhere. Many of the collection names are listed below.
Finding aids, which describe what is within each collection and help locate information within each collection, are available for some of the collections. These are linked in the list below.
Because the archival collections are unique, they are in a closed-stack area and require staff assistance to access them. To view the collections listed below, either visit the Heston Room during research hours or make an appointment at least one business day in advance of your visit.
