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.

Basically a collection of other people's collections of stuff that isn't normally collected or can't be shown off easily. Examples: Childhood Graffiti From Antique Sources; Fake Parking Tickets; People Documenting Anti-War Protesters; Bibles Stolen From Hotels.
