As an archivist for my favorite television show Twin Peaks, I love finding ephemera created when David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece first aired in the early 1990s. Many of these paper items were produced for a specific, immediate purpose and not much thought was given to saving them for future records. This colorful brochure was…
During the first Twin Peaks Fan Festival on August 14-16, 1992, thousands of Twin Peaks fans descended on the towns of Snoqualmie and North Bend, Washington for a weekend filled with cherry pie, celebrity sightings, and the premiere of David Lynch’s newest film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

The Bookhouse Boys are one of my favorite things from the first two seasons of Twin Peaks.

In April 2018, Showtime sent members of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences voting for the Emmy Awards a DVD set containing all 18 part of Twin Peaks: The Return. This five-disc set was in advance of the “For Your Emmy Consideration” campaign launched in May that year. There was an event held on May…
My look back at “TV Guide” magazines from April-May 1990 continues with the April 21-27 issue. This issue contains an interview with Peggy Lipton who played Norma Jennings in Twin Peaks.
