Monmouth University will be the new home for the Bruce Springsteen Special Collection. The collection, which contains nearly 14,900 documents from forty-four countries finishes its move from the Asbury Park Public Library November 1. It includes books, concert programs, magazine and newspaper articles and other printed ephemera dedicated to the careers of Bruce Springsteen and members of his bands.
“The collection not only offers Springsteen fans the chance to explore various aspects of his career, but students, scholars, and journalists will also benefit from the access that Monmouth University will now provide,” said Robert Santelli, executive director of the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles and Monmouth alumnus who helped secure the collection for the University. “The additional space at Monmouth allows for the collection to grow and in the future include recordings, oral histories, film footage, and other documents.”
