Buchanan's papers include Circus and amusement park ephemera, a collection of catalogs of movie equipment (1920s-1950s), and personal papers pertaining to his work as a consultant for United Artists Corp. in the 1940s and 1950s. The collection is particularly significant for the extensive notes taken by Buchanan for his Encylopedia of Show Business. Many of the definitions that Buchanan planned to use for this encyclopedia are available in the collection on index cards.
