This collection contains tapes of interviews with significant fiddlers. The tapes located at the M.E.

The Neisner Brothers Incorporated Collection documents the history, growth and eventual financial difficulties of a Rochester, New York, five and dime store that expanded to become a nationally recognized chain.

This collection contains approximately 500 buttons, 3 keychains, and 1 set of earrings. The majority of the buttons are political in nature and specifically reference campaigns. However, there are some buttons that reference religious events or groups, are political but only reference a party affiliation, are in support of groups like the American Red Cross or American Cancer Society, and some that reference pop culture like baseball, singers, and astrology. Most of the buttons in this collection are circular metal with a straight pin, however some are more detailed like a Nixon-Lodge brooch with faux pearls and diamonds, several LBJ pins in the shape of a cowboy hat, and the popular and fun Vari-Vue pins of the late 50's and early 60's.
