Assessment by Mark Hammons

Over the last forty-five days, the Foundation has worked to better understand our longstanding storage arrangements, aiming to provide better care for the Tom of Finland collection in the long term. Accomplished archivist and collection manager Mark Hammons from the OA+D Archives advised our team at TOM House to create an assessment of this irreplaceable archive, offering recommendations and potential resolutions that respects the past, present, and future of the Tom of Finland collection.

As part of a long-term planning process, we are carefully advancing the Foundation’s mission and responsibility to provide for improved physical holdings, so that Tom’s work will be preserved to the best of our ability for future generations of admirers.

Thank you, Mark!
