HI AnnaPeter Arnott's collection of puppets went to the Harvard University
Library theatre collection. There is an article in the book
"American Puppetry: Collections, History, Performance" edited by Phyllis
Dircks 2004
Some of Prof Arnott's Greek puppet productions were videotaped.
I never saw him perform but I know several puppeteers who found his work to
be inspirational
