Caffe Lena History Project!


Since 2002 my friend, Jocelyn Arem, has tirelessly committed herself to documenting the history of the Caffè and commemorating the life and legacy of Lena Spencer. She asks that you read the note below and contact her if you have any materials about the Caffe......

The Caffè Lena History Project has:

  • Preserved stories, photos and other memorabilia from the Caffe's history
  • Secured a partnership with the Library of Congress to digitize the Caffe Lena archival collection.

In honor of Caffé Lena’s 50th Anniversary in 2010, we are seeking the following material for our archival collection:


Audio recordings of live Caffé performances and any personally recorded shows from the 1980s WSPN “Lena’s Open Door” radio program, as well as—

. . .photographs, posters, programs, songbooks, recipes, letters, etc. If you wish to donate items, please email Jocelyn Arem, Caffè Lena History Project Director at jocelyn@caffelenahistory.org. If we can use your materials, we will be happy to send you a tax donation form.

To share a story about Lena or the Caffé and to learn more about the project, please visit the website: www.caffelenahistory.org
