Thomas E. Azzari was a set designer for Sea World, designing open-air salt-water sets for several different aquatic animals like whales, dolphins, otters, and many more. Over his fifteen years as a theme park set designer, Thomas E. Azzari collected numerous reports, letters, photographs, drawings, construction plans, and memorabilia. Most of this collection focuses on his time as a set designer for Sea World, but it also contains some of the work he did for other theme parks, like Silver Springs and Weeki Wachee.
The Vincent J. Fonelli Collection includes materials on the life and personal artwork of Fonelli, who lived from 1906 to 1972. The collection consists of architectural drawings, paintings, photographs, hand drawings, and sculptures done by Fonelli around his time at Columbia University. Polish posters and newsletters are also featured in the collection.
