Photograph of Dance Satirist Iva Kitchell

The Iva Kitchell Webster Papers consist of newspaper clippings, photographs and performance
programs of Kitchell's successful career as a dance satirist. Papers and photographs of the
internationally known sculptor Albin Polasek are also on display. The Music Collection
consists of nineteenth and early twentieth century vocal scores, primarily operas by noted
composers, believed to have been the personal collection of soprano Anne Roselle. Madame
Roselle was a noted opera and concert singer who toured throughout Europe and the United
States.
Selected musical instruments and prints from the Caribbean are also included in
the Summer Showcase exhibit. The Bryant Collection was donated to the UCF Library
by the William J. Bryant Foundation and includes scholarly books and periodicals, paintings,
graphics, sculptures, sound recordings, and anthropological artifacts on the history, geography,
economy and social life of the West Indies and Caribbean.
A companion exhibit showcasing local history collections from the department is located in display
cases outside the department. Items from the Ben White Raceway Papers, Carey Hand Funeral Home
Collection, and Thomas and Georgine Mickler Collection are on display.
