Jim Henson (1936-1990) was an American artist, puppeteer, innovator, and filmmaker. He is known for his work as a designer, director, and performer for various movies, commercials, and television programs, most famously Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. The Jim Henson video collection at the University of Maryland contains 68 digital videos spanning 35 years of Henson's innovative work in television and film. These full-length videos can be found at http://digital.lib.umd.edu/henson/ and are available for viewing at public computer stations in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library, McKeldin Library, and Hornbake Library. Researchers can also contact SCPA to arrange for time-limited remote access to specific videos. The collection results from a generous gift by The Jane Henson Foundation and The Jim Henson Legacy of select videos and funding to support processing and related projects.
