Modern dancer Barry Lynn performed in Salt Lake City as a soloist and with his own dance company for many years before leaving Utah in 1978. His collection includes personal photographs of his family, his years in the army, and portraits of his friends, but the bulk of the collection consists of prints of performances in a variety of dance concerts over a period of nearly thirty years.
