Provenance and Acquisition Notes

Collection-level basis

The 28 unique records in Harry’s Room were supplied from two public LititzBMX.com collection pages and accompanying source images. They are represented as current collection holdings because the source pages present them within the Harry Leary Collection.

Known acquisition and relationship statements

• 26.0037 is identified as the first Leary Locker purchase.
• 26.0036 is identified as a letter and decal from Dottie Ellis-Merki.
• Several jerseys overlap the Digital Jersey Wall, where Leary Locker provenance is documented.
• 26.0051 is described as a signed copy associated with Linda and Harry Leary; the source caption also states that the archive owns the jersey and frame pictured.

What is not assumed

The room does not assume that every object came from the Leary Locker, that every signature has been authenticated, or that every source-post statement is a verified historical conclusion.

Cross-collection provenance

Objects may appear in more than one curated collection without becoming duplicate accessions. Harry’s Room links to the Digital Jersey Wall for overlapping jersey records while maintaining one canonical artifact ID.
