Founded in 1985, Profiles in History is the nation's leading dealer in guaranteed-authentic original historical autographs, letters, documents, vintage signed photographs and manuscripts. We confidently stand behind every autograph offered for sale with the most detailed background information available and a lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

To satisfy the demands of a relatively new and exciting field of collecting, we have also been holding some of the most prestigious and successful auctions of Hollywood memorabilia in the genre for five years running. Our annual auctions include costumes, props and set pieces from both vintage and contemporary film, television, and rock 'n roll. Our Calabasas Hills location — virtually a stone's throw away from every major Hollywood studio — ensures a constant flow of fantastic and rare collectibles. With an extensive network of dealers, collectors, and institutions, we are proud to play an important role in the preservation of motion picture history.

We invite you to visit our on-line catalogs, or order a fully-illustrated print catalog to discover the magic of autographs and Hollywood memorabilia for yourself! Autograph catalogs showcase only a small portion of our extensive inventory. Collectors who are interested in a particular individual or area of collecting should contact us directly with their requests.
