IN APPRECIATION...

This online exhibition of selected works from The Ken Wolfgang & Kendra Gaines Collection was made possible by the following individuals:

  • Verónica Reyes-Escudero, Borderlands Curator, Associate Librarian, University Libraries, Special Collections curated the exhibit and provided coordination among the multiple units involved in making the processing, migration and synchronization of the films in The Ken Wolfgang & Kendra Gaines Collection possible.
  • Trent Purdy, graduate student in the School of Information Resources and Library Science and student assistant in Special Collections co-curated the selection of materials for the exhibition, conducted research and provided contextual annotations for the films. Trent also processed The Ken Wolfgang & Kendra Gaines Collection.
  • Dr. Jennifer Jenkins in the Department of English consulted with us on archival film, and led her class to work with the Ken Wolfgang and Kendra Gaines Collection in her English 596 L History of Theory of Film course. A wonderful collaborator, her insights are an invaluable asset to the University of Arizona.

Most importantly, we are in appreciation of Ken Wolfgang and Kendra Gaines for entrusting their legacy to the University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections.

We are indebted to Kendra Gaines and Norman Richmond for their Ken Wolfgang & Kendra Gaines Library Endowment. The endowment will allow scholars to apply for research awards toward study of film and associated material in Special Collections.
