Jacqueline Deegan Papers
Collection Organization
The collection contains photographic material, about half of which is identified. The photos were taken by Deegan at concert venues in Ohio during the 1970s and early 80s, and include well-known artists such as Genesis, Devo, U2, and Pere Ubu - among many others. Deegan's diaries contain stories and musings about romance and love affairs; personal and professional goals; tarot card readings and dream journals; and notes on diet and health - often related to her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.
Photographic material - identified, 1974 - 1983
Includes photographic negatives, slides and transparencies. Negatives were kept in their original sleeves, and were identified by Jacqueline Deegan.
