A Reader staffer shares three musical obsessions, then asks someone (who asks someone else) to take a turn.
Library Excavations #2: The ABCs of the Chicago Reader Touring Musicians Publicity Photos Collection Marc Fischer, founder of Public Collectors, spent the summer and early fall digging through niche collections in the Harold Washington Library’s vast archives, and he recently emerged with four “Library Excavations” zines focused on (among other things) business periodicals and ads aimed at prison administrators. I picked up the one assembled from the Reader‘s old collection of music-publicity photos, because if anyone was its target audience, it had to be me. Fischer’s explorations of forgotten marginalia—and the collections he’s assembled while pursuing them—are worthy of their own examination.
