Being a library geek/employee and a punk rocker, events like this delight me:
NYU GETS COLLECTION FROM HELL: PAPERS OF PUNK ROCK LEGEND
New York University's Bobst Library has announced that it has secured a "substantial portion" of the collection of legendary New York punk rocker Richard Hell, leader of the Voidoids. The collection includes roughly 30 feet of material, including a number of Hell's diaries, manuscripts, various letters, photos and other materials. Besides his music, Hell is a writer and visual artist and has published a collection of pamphlets by another New York
pop culture legend, Patti Smith, as well as one by Tom Verlaine, a former bandmate of Hell's in the influential New York-based band Television. The collection will be part of the Bobst Library's Downtown New York collection, which archives New York's vibrant local arts scene from 1974 to the present. Hell's papers will likely take a year to process before they will be available to scholars.
