Duran Duran: Home

The Duran Duran Collection, donated by the band in 2001, contains items from the period of the band's history spanning 1983 to 2000. Most of the photographs are from the 1980s; however some of the collection is undated. The posters are primarily from this period, but also include a few from 1999 and 2000. Also included in the collection are a variety of other promotional materials from the 1980s including a calendar, Japanese language photo magazine, and a biographical press program. These promotional materials provide insight into the band's commercial success through their marketing.

The Hugo Keesing Collection consists of trading card sets from 1956 to 1993 and a copy of Keesing's "The Incomplete Pop/Rock Bibliography." Rock and roll trading cards feature classic tour posters, album covers, rare and promotional photos, and trivia spanning decades of rock and roll history, and this collection provides generous examples of these cards through the years and across musical genres. There are 14 Duran Duran cards in this collection.

The Mark Goodman Collection spans the years 1981 to 2009 and includes some undated materials. The collection contains Goodman's script for the 1985 Live Aid broadcast. Tape 5 of his Live Aid VHS features this performance.
