A massive collection of previously rumored Bob Dylan archives is making its way to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The New York Times on Wednesday reported the secret stash of more than 6,000 items has been sold to the George Kaiser Family Foundation and the University of Tulsa for an estimated $15-20 million.

Currently en route to Tulsa, the archives will be permanently displayed in the city's Brady Arts District, near the Woody Guthrie Center.

The extensive set includes an old notebook containing lyrics from Dylan's Blood on the Tracks era; the singer's wallet from 1966, which contains Johnny Cash's address and phone number, as well as a business card from Otis Redding; Dylan's jacket from his 1965 Newport Folk Festival appearance; early recordings dating back to 1959 and more.

Dylan said in a statement he is glad his archives will "be included with the works of Woody Guthrie and especially alongside all the valuable artifacts from the Native American nations. To me it makes a lot of sense, and it’s a great honor.”
