Scope and Contents
The Vini Lopez Collection contains two scrapbooks, photographs, and set lists that document Lopez's career, both as a musician and a professional golf caddie. The focus of the collection is on the bands Lopez was a member of after his tenure with Bruce Springsteen; however, the collection contains several photographs of Springsteen with other members of the E Street Band. The newspaper clippings found in the scrapbooks document the Jersey Shore music scene, specifically that of Asbury Park during the 1970s and 1980s.
