Pictures & documents

From the archive of Eimbert van den Oetelaar.

Over the years a good deal more than compact discs found its way into the archive: pages from the American trade press of the 1950s, a card signed by Mary Reeves herself, and photographs of the place where Jim Reeves is remembered. They are gathered here. Click any picture to see it full size.

In the trade press

Four pictures from the American music press and from Meridian, Mississippi, the birthplace of Jimmie Rodgers. All four came to the archive through Jean de Prycker.

A sympathy card sent by Mary Reeves in 1964, the year Jim Reeves died. She signed it as Mrs. Jim Reeves. From the collection of the late Texas Kitty Prins.
