The Graceland Archives is home to more than 1.5 million artifacts and is one of the most extensive collections of any single entertainer. The Graceland Archives Department works diligently to preserve Elvis’ history through the collections of artifacts, documents, audio/visual and photographs. With only 10% of the Elvis items from the Graceland Archives currently on display, the entire collection consists of over 90,000 photographs, 5,000 textiles, thousands of documents and a large collection of furniture, musical instruments, awards, automobiles, and other artifacts associated with the personal life and career of Elvis Presley.
“Fans have long had a fascination with the Graceland Archives and the efforts involved in preserving Elvis’ collection,” said Angie Marchese, Graceland’s Vice President of Archives and Exhibit. “We wanted to be able to show the behind-the-scenes work being done, including research, cataloging documents and photographs, and artifact preservation.
