Jim Rock Historic Can Collection
Additional Resources
This digital collection represents the cans collected and studied by Jim Rock, and therefore we will not be adding other cans to the Jim Rock Historic Can Collection. However, we are very interested in adding new reference material or resources that might complement and aid in the study of historic cans.
If you have used Jim Rock's research as a resource for your own work, or if you have developed new information about cans and their identification, and would like your work to be linked to from this page, please contact Chelsea Rose, rosec@sou.edu. (Please also submit this form giving us permission to publish your work.)
