Donated by Jack Binion, the collection ranges from the beginning of the World Series of Poker in 1970 all the way through 2004 and includes everything from press releases, to the photographs, event programs, videotapes, display ads, advertising budgets and more.While much of the collection may eventually be digitized, it may take some time, and not all of the collection may make it to recorded format. That means that if you are interested in checking out posters, photo galleries, and business correspondence concerning the World Series of Poker, get ready to start rummaging through boxes.
