Decades before the Bob Dylan Archive® came into existence, it was passionate fans who first began collecting, recording and tracing the history and evolution of Dylan's work. They exchanged mimeographed fanzines, recordings and other artifacts and ephemera. Mitch Blank, a renowned figure of New York's Greenwich Village, was among one of the first to keep a record. We caught up recently with Mitch, Associate Archivist for the Bob Dylan Center®, at his West Village apartment. A virtual museum of Americana and the history of the folk movement in New York, Mitch has been fastidiously cataloging his own personal archive which will be making its way to Tulsa, Oklahoma. A serious and dedicated collector, Mitch's archive is an unrivaled collection of papers, ephemera and artifacts that, over many years, he's generously offered to scholars, researchers and fans worldwide. A true original. Meet Mitch Blank.
