The archives of singer-songwriter Bob Dylan have been acquired by the George Kaiser Family Foundation and the University of Tulsa, with plans for curated exhibitions from the trove to be displayed in a Tulsa arts district. More than 6,000 items are part of the archives, including recordings from 1959, Dylan's handwritten lyrics to songs like "Tangled Up In Blue," his first contract with a music publisher and a wallet that includes the address and phone number of country music singer Johnny Cash. Dylan said in a statement that he's glad the archives will be included with the works of Oklahoma native and folk singer Woody Guthrie and alongside artifacts of Native Americans.
