$200.00

28 pages of vintage file copy documentsfrom the 1974 STAR TREK Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park, California. The above 8 x 10 photo is the standard publicity photo for the attraction which was generated at the time and is also included here. The Movieland Wax Museum closed in 2005 after 43 years in business. I obtained these documents in the 1980s for a feature article which was never written. I recently came across these in my files. Plus I visited there in the 1980s and took some original photos myself which I also have listed in my store.I did some photo features on the Star Trek Movieland exhibit in my 1991 book THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF STAR TREK.

These documents all relate to the premiere of the Star Trek exhibit at the Movieland Wax Museum September 19, 1974. Preparations were very elaborate as four of the TV series stars were in attendance and these documents involve the contract negotiations for the exhibit, a press release for the event and the introductory speech given at the event as well as the introductions for the actors. There are so many pages that I only show scans of 16 of the 28 pages. In the list below I describe them in detail and state which ones are vintage 1974 documents and which are photocopies of important file documents. All are 8 1/2 x 11 and are in excellent condition. 7 pages of these documents are vintage originals, as described below.
