Got a Piece of Rock-n-Roll History You'd Like to Preserve and Share?

Do you have any photos, handbills, programs or other flat rock-n-roll memorabilia? Preserve them at the Rock Hall's Memorabilia Scan Day.

Do you have any photos, handbills, programs, or other flat rock and roll memorabilia stashed away or stored in the attic? If they are 8.5” x 11” in size or smaller, bring them into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday to have them digitized and possibly included in the Rock Hall’s permanent collection.

The Rock Hall Scan Day event takes place this Saturday, August 27 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Help preserve Rock & roll history!

Northeast Ohio music memorabilia is of particular interest. No ticket stubs or press passes at this time, however, they can be scanned and preserved at the event for personal use.
