The Collection
What we're preserving
The Bunny Matthews Archive is a living cultural institution, working to make Bunny's body of work accessible to researchers, educators, fans, and the broader New Orleans community — one artifact at a time.
Original Illustrations
Hand-drawn artwork spanning decades of Bunny's career — from early sketches to finished pieces. Ink, pencil, and color work capturing New Orleans life.
Published Writings
Comic strips, cultural commentary, articles, and columns from alternative weeklies and publications throughout New Orleans and beyond.
Audio Recordings
Interviews, oral histories, and audio documentation preserving the voice and personality behind the pen.
Personal Correspondence
Letters, notes, and personal writings that reveal the creative process and the relationships that shaped Bunny's work.
Memorabilia & Ephemera
Posters, flyers, keepsakes, and objects connected to the world Bunny depicted — the loose material culture of a city he captured better than anyone.
Digital Collection
High-resolution scans and digitized materials forming the foundation of a freely accessible online archive for worldwide access.
Our Process
How we preserve
01
Catalog
Every artifact is inventoried, documented, and contextualized with historical metadata.
02
Digitize
High-resolution scanning and photography captures each artifact at archival quality.
03
Preserve
Originals are stored in climate-controlled, acid-free conditions for long-term protection.
04
Share
Digitized artifacts are made accessible through our online archive, exhibitions, and publications.
Looking Ahead
A living collection
We envision the Archive not as a static repository, but as an active, generative presence in the life of New Orleans. As the digital collection grows, it will serve as the foundation for traveling exhibitions, academic research, published volumes, and educational programming.
This is where Bunny's work lives on — and where the next generation discovers it.
Help build the collection.
Your support funds the digitization, preservation, and public access that keeps Bunny's work alive.
