· A voucher for a free admission ticket to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
· A complimentary USB drive with digital, preservation-quality image files of your items
· Archival-quality sleeves to help preserve your original materials
· A copy of the Library and Archives' 'zine: Preservation: 88 Lines About 44 Techniques
