The Breeden Collection currently contains 26 scrapbooks, 365 LPs by UNT alumni, 538 reel-to-reel recordings of lab band performances, and over 200 scores and instructional books. Future plans for the collection include digitization of the scrapbooks and exploring access possibilities for the reel recordings, working with the Jazz Studies division.
