"Vod-a-Vil"

The Hans Spanuth Collection spans 5 regular, archival boxes, one half-size box, and one large Gaylord folder. The collection includes biographical material; business records and correspondence; film and television project production records; photographs; clippings; film reels; and ephemera relating to the life and career of Hans August Spanuth.

There is also considerable material relating to Hans's father, August Spanuth, including biographical items; numerous diaries; clippings; photographs; essays; and sheet music.

The material is arranged into nine series, thematically/chronologically within each series, and chronologically within each folder. Materials are grouped into folders by theme, sometimes with multiple types of materials juxtaposed together, i.e., correspondence and a photograph. This approach was used to keep material from the various film projects unified.
