Carrie,

The Public Museum of Grand Rapids has been working their way through the alphabet for the past few years, exhibiting local collectors' collections.  There is info on their website about this on-going series <http://www.grmuseum.org/AtoZ.htm>.  Marilyn Merdzinski is the Team Coordinator for the
exhibit, and could probably answer many of your questions.  You can email her at: [log in to unmask]
