Rube Goldberg has and continues to be an endless source of inspiration. Many articles and essays have been written about his legacy as an inventor, artist, and cultural figure. Explore our library of historical film, interviews and essays on Rube.
Rube gifted a large portion of his archive to his alma mater, but he kept a sizable personal collection of original works for himself. Today this constitutes the family collection, works that span his career along with ephemera, awards, and tools of the trade, including his well-worn drawing table. A portion of this collection became the touring exhibit, "The Art of Rube Goldberg" and from 2017 to 2020 appeared in museums coast to coast. This work is now being re-curated by the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh as "Rube Goldberg, Illustrated". For information about the show, contact us.
In 1964, Rube gave a collection of 10,000 pieces of original art, articles, writings, letters, and memorabilia to his alma mater, the University of California. The collection is housed at the Bancroft Library in Berkeley, CA. The collection includes: correspondence; original drawings for comic strips and for editorial cartoons covering national political campaigns, World War II, and postwar international and domestic affairs; clippings; scrapbooks; manuscripts of articles, stories and songs; books written by him; photographs; records; film; artifacts, including a junior plug hat from the University of California, Class of 1904.
In 1970, the Smithsonian held a major retrospective exhibit on Rube Goldberg. It was directed by Daniel Boorstin (his first exhibit as the Institution's director) and curated by Peter Marzio (who published a biography of Rube Goldberg in 1973). The Smithsonian collection includes photographs of the exhibit as well as images of the cartoons and other artifacts.

The Veterans History Project (VHP) at the Library of Congress collects, preserves and makes accessible the firsthand recollections of U.S. military veterans who served from World War I through more recent conflicts and peacekeeping missions, so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand what they saw, did and felt during their service. The Veterans History Project Collection includes oral histories along with documentary materials such as original letters, diaries, photographs, and memoirs.
Veterans and interviewers contribute these materials to the Library for scholarly and educational purposes, retaining any copyright they may hold. Therefore, permission must be obtained before using the interview or other materials in exhibition or publication. Researchers or others who would like to make further use of these materials should contact the Veterans History Project for assistance.
