The Little Players do indeed now reside at the Center for Puppetry Arts as well as many archives.  The Standwells are all on exhibit at the Center available to patrons.  
If you have any specific questions I will be glad to answer if I can. You are welcome to contact me off list directly at susankinney-AT-puppet.org or (404)881-5130.
