- Scope and ContentsThe Barbara Riedel Collection consists primarily of promotional magazines and posters related to the Beatles, along with three items related to other performers from the 1960s. The collection is arranged by item type and size. Some of the materials are undated, but the collection as a whole dates from the 1960s, and most of the Beatles items date from 1964. The non-Beatle portion of the collection consists of a single newspaper clipping on audience reaction to the Rolling Stones during their appearance on the Mike Douglas show, and two scraps of paper containing autographs. One document has autographs of two members of the Monkees, Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones; while the other contains autographs of TV host Mike Douglas, and Rolling Stones members Bill Wyman, Brian Jones, and Charlie Watts. The Beatles magazines, booklets, and pamplets contain a variety of content, such as song lyrics, articles and interviews, and photographs. One promotional magazine is solely dedicated to the making of the film A Hard Day's Night. Some of the magazines contain a color insert or a few color photographs throughout, but the majority of the photographs are in black-and-white. The two large posters contain black-and-white images of members of the Beatles, displayed against red or pink-colored backgrounds. The collection as a whole illustrates a fan-based collection and, more specifically, ways in which the Beatles were marketed during 1964.
