For college, he attended Southwestern Louisiana Institute (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and graduated in 1958. He was then drafted into the U.S. Army, where he worked at the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, MD. He left the service in 1961 and worked as a Department of Defense security specialist for 37 years. As a teenager, Mr. Pope collected opera memorabilia and listened to music programs on the radio. Living near Louisiana Polytechnic Institute in Ruston (now Louisiana Tech University), he was able to attend many concerts. In 1957 Mr. Pope heard the famous tenor Jussi Bjorling in recital and received an autographed program, which sparked his interest in collecting opera autographs. After 43 years of opera and concerts, he amassed a large collection with the help of many dealers. Mr. Pope currently resides in Minden, LA. This collection contains opera and theater memorabilia Mr. Pope collected over the years. The materials include photographs of vocalists, programs, letters, publicity, music sheets, and postcards. A great number of the photographs and letters have been framed. Andrew Pope donated this collection. Series: A. Personal 1-01 through 1-05 B. Photographs 1-06 through 1-18 C.
