The Tom B'hend and Preston Kaufmann collection spans the years 1940s–1990s and encompasses approximately 300 linear feet. The collection contains architectural blueprints and design sketches; theater reference materials, including postcards, clippings, and programs; and interior and exterior photographs. Particularly strong is its coverage of major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, and there is some material from every state.
