content: Audiovisual material is found in two formats: DV mini-cassettes and Super 8 film. Also found is one mini-cassette recording.  The majority of the 35 Super 8 films were recorded in Cape Cod, though some were recorded in other locations, namely at American Fine Arts in New York City. Several document the final stages of Pat Hearn's illness. All but two are silent.

The videos on the 31 DV mini-cassettes were taken by Colin de Land, primarily in and around the year 2000, using video settings on a digital photographic camera. The content overlaps with the snapshots from this era, many of which are stills from these videos. There is extensive video documenting the end of Pat Hearn's illness, some coverage of exhibition openings, travels to various locations, and a lecture given by Colin de Land.

Researchers should note that some of the recordings in this collection contain segements of porongraphic and otherwise sexually explicit content. The recordings documenting the final stages of Pat Hearn's illness also tend to be fairly graphic and may be disturbing to some viewers.
