Signed Sealed Remembered - Driving Cross Country

🚨 Join us as we explore the contracts of the King. We trace Elvis Presley’s legacy through the written record: the contracts he signed, the forms he completed, paperwork others completed for his benefit, and letters written by and to him. These documents form a paper mirror, reflecting not just the man but the myth, the machinery of fame, and the society that judged him through its own bureaucratic lens.

This series explores how each of us, like Elvis, is rendered into a “document-self”, a version of our identity shaped by written records, interpreted by others, and often mistaken for truth. We examine the difference between primary and secondary sources, and the layered meanings within government forms and personal filings. Not all records are equal, and not all truths are legible.

Throughout our shared examination, we ask: What does it mean to be remembered by paper? And what happens when myth and memory collide in the archive?
