The Florenz Ziegfeld-Billie Burke Collection was deposited at the Archive in May of 2012 by the Stephenson Family Trust. The four children of Patricia Ziegfeld Stephenson (1916-2008), the only child of Broadway impresario Ziegfeld (1867-1932) and actress Burke (1884-1970), comprise the Trust. The collection consists primarily of 75 reels of home movies, dating as early as 1917 and as recent as the early 1970s, with the great majority of the material dating from the 1920s and 1930s.
