Part of the Tulsa-based American Song Archives, the Woody Guthrie Center Archives have an international and interdisciplinary reach, specifically in the fields of multimedia art and art history, musicology, political science, psychology and health sciences, women and gender studies, literature and minority and multicultural studies.
The Woody Guthrie Center is an actively growing research center. Current holdings include the largest collection of Woody Guthrie primary resource materials in the world, housing papers of additional topical songwriters and special research collections ranging from the 1930s to present day. Materials include numerous research notes, clippings, personal papers, correspondence, original manuscripts, photographs, realia, lyrics, sheet music, sound recordings, musical instruments, fine art, and artifacts.
Additional related collections include the Woody Guthrie Manuscript Collection at the Library of Congress and the Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage at the Smithsonian Institution.
The Woody Guthrie Center encourages original research and access to primary resources by partnering annually with the BMI Foundation for the Woody Guthrie Fellowship and A Still Small Voice Inc. for the Phil Ochs Fellowship, respectively.
In 2011, the George Kaiser Family purchased the Woody Guthrie Archives from the Woody Guthrie Foundation in Mount Kisco, New York. Under the supervision of managing archivist Tiffany Colannino, the archives and several gifted collections were transferred to Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2013. Colannino also consulted on the original design of the research room and vault at Woody Guthrie Center, which includes a climate- and security-controlled archival storage safe equipped with baked enamel compact shelving, stainless steel work surfaces, nitrogen fire-suppression system, and archival office.
Since their transfer to Tulsa, the archives and collections have grown expansively and now include the papers and family collections of Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, and Maxine Crissman (aka Lefty Lou); the research collection of music historian Ronald D. Cohen; and several other collections of primary and secondary research materials.
The Woody Guthrie Center Archives collections comprise materials obtained from various sources. All items created by Woody Guthrie are held under copyright by Woody Guthrie Publications Inc. Additional items within the collections are also protected by copyright, trademark, and/or restrictions held by others.
Because Woody Guthrie Center is a nonprofit organization, donations and the generosity of those interested in the mission help actively grow the thriving historical resource holdings at the Woody Guthrie Center Archives, which is part of the American Song Archives. All donated materials are processed, professionally preserved, and made accessible according to national archival standards.
As a collecting institution, we cannot provide monetary appraisals or valuations of materials. If you are seeking a valuation or a tax deduction, please contact an independent appraiser prior to donation.
If you are considering a contribution to our archival collections, please review the collection development policy and submit the following form for the team to connect with you. Thank you for supporting the Woody Guthrie Center.

She appeared to be possessed by, or infested with, unidentified parasitic worms. She is the main antagonist of season 1.
She is described by Harriet Lee as wearing a long red dress and having "a head of long, matted black hair and wide, staring eyes",[1] and by Martin Blackwood as wearing a grey overcoat, having matted black hair that was so dirty it may have been brown underneath the filth, and having pale skin pockmarked with holes made by the worms that infested her.[2] The worms are around an inch long, with silver segmented bodies and blackened heads with pinchers.
In late February or early March, 2014, she was found by police in the attic of her flat on Prospero Road, with her arm buried in a mass of organic material, not unlike a wasp's nest.[3] She was rushed to Whittington Hospital. Whilst the nurses were trying to restrain her, she expelled worms into the eyes of those in the room with her, killing six of them and leading to the seventh breaking his neck fleeing from her.
When Martin Blackwood attempts to investigate the building where Carlos Vittery lived, he encounters Jane in the basement. She pursues him and as he flees, Martin drops his phone. Jane uses it to pose as him, she texts the Institute and claims to be staying home due to illness as she traps him in his home for two weeks.[2] On March 12th, 2016, Martin is able to return to the Institute, bringing some of her worms with him.
It is not clear what link between the worms and Jane is. They do not appear to be telepathically linked in any way, as she did not appear to be alerted when Martin crushed one. However, in her statement, she refers to hearing their call as a "song".
Over the course of a few months, Jane Prentiss started to invade the passages beneath the Archives.[5] On July 29, 2016, Jonathan Sims accidentally discovered Prentiss's worms within the walls of the Archives.[6] She actively engaged in a short siege of the Archives, where she was found destroying some of the paper cases.[7]
Jane Prentiss was eventually killed when Elias Bouchard activated the CO2 suppression system, killing both her and the flesh worms that infested her. Her body was destroyed via cremation.[8][9] Later, Martin gave John her cremated ashes.
I have lived through a startling transition in the mechanics of scholarly work. When I started as a graduate student, research was done in libraries, papers were in journals and books were treasured items for lifelong consultation. The background to this page is my wife's shot of the University Library in Coimbra, Portugal. Widener Library at Harvard used to evoke similar feelings in me. But now more and more is going online, for better or for worse.
One wonders who worries about issues of archiving. Babylonian tablets are a miracle of preservation - their condition even improved by fire and surviving for four millennia. But Victorian publications are largely on acid paper and are rapidly crumbling. How long will the "pdf" and "doc" formats last and will our hard drives lose bits? Anyway, I thought a digital archive was a sensible approach while we are in the midst of a chaotic period of change. This web site, put together with the help of my son Peter is a considered course.
I also believe the research enterprise depends on the free dissemination of scholarly material and I have no faith that any commercial publishers are 'on our side' as they are in no way answerable to the scholarly community. I hereby grant all of my works to the public domain, including digital rights to all material which I never explicitly granted to any publisher. Material in this web site is granted as "fair use" to any and all scholars and interested readers.
Hopefully the 'navbar' above makes searches easy. This web site is still under development. Some of my papers are in the Harvard archive 'DASH' (Digital Access to Scholarship at Harvard with URL
dash.harvard.edu), some AMS journals are on line and some of my preprints are in the arXiv: I am putting links for these in the corresponding entry. Also 'research
gate.net' seems to be sweeping up a subset of my papers. I have scanned and linked most of my remaining reprints, note: for non-commercial use only.
The American Math Society has published, in fall 2023, my book based on my blog entitled "Numbers and the World, Essays on Math and Beyond." A draft version using my 2022 submission to the AMS is online in my blog post "Draft of a blog book". Needless to say, the final book is available on the open access Russian pirate website "genesis".
Good news about Open Access:The NSF announced in 2015 a policy that all NSF funded research has to be available via public access within one year of publication. More recently, Mark Wilson started an important web site to coordinate and promote journal conversion to Open Access.
The first series was delivered in December 1825 by the Royal Institution's Professor of Mechanics, John Millington. Two years later Michael Faraday gave his first of nineteen series of lectures, culminating with his 1860/61 series 'The chemical history of a candle' which produced perhaps the most popular science book ever published. As the Royal Institution's flagship lecture series, it was an obvious candidate for broadcasting by the BBC's fledging television service in 1936. In the post-1945 period several lectures were televised, but it was not until the 1966/7 series that they started being broadcast annually.
