Public Collectors is a project by Chicago-based artist Marc Fischer that functions as a dispersed archive of cultural ephemeral. Fischer publishes the contents of various personal collections whose owners have agreed to make the contents available to whomever wants them. Fischer writes, "Public Collectors is founded upon the concern that there are many types of cultural artifacts that public libraries, museums and other institutions and archives either do not collect or do not make freely accessible. Public Collectors asks individuals that have had the luxury to amass, organize, and inventory these materials to help reverse this lack by making their collections public."
