On December 2, the High Museum will host an open house to commemorate Finster’s contribution to its Folk and Self-Taught Art Collection, one of the country’s premiere troves of the genre.

A Membership Event will held in Atlanta on Saturday and a birthday party will be held in Paradise Garden in Pennville on Sunday. Noted art critic, curator and of georgia libraries university Finster biographer Tom Patterson will speak at both events. Howard Finster was one of Georgia’s most favorite and famous sons. His signature saying is displayed prominently in the Garden: “I took the pieces you

Collins Goss worked with the Peabody Awards Collection from 2007-2011. She recalls “I was working in the Peabody offices when Stephen Colbert won his first Peabody, and he called it the ‘turducken of media awards.’ That was a fun moment.” When she started, there were no records for radio programs in the database; thanks to the efforts Collins and other students, researchers can now access descriptive records for over 19,000 radio programs. Today, Collins is the Grants Manager for the Alliance Theatre at the ON THE Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta. SHOULDERS I learned so many things from working with the Archive.

In 1996, there were approximately 36,400 titles in the Peabody Awards Collection, and only about 3,000 (8%) had been cataloged. Today, there are over 68,000 titles in the collection, of which 67,338 (99%) have been at least minimally cataloged. This progress was possible because, over the past two decades, more than fifty Library Science interns and University of Georgia undergraduates have contributed to the processing and cataloging of the Collection. As part of our celebration of #Peabody75, we reconnected with some of these Collins Goss students to reminisce about their contributions and to learn what they’ve done since leaving the Archives.
