I suspect what's left of the Curtis cylinder collection is at Indiana University, unless some have landed in the Folklife Collection at LoC. Curtis' effects have shown up in various places, though mainly in California. I suspect that he donated the cylinders during his lifetime. However, that collection is one of IU's preservation poster children. It has fallen prey to chemical decomposition and I can't say how much of it is still conservable. Perhaps someone on this list who is closer to the collection could report.
