During the Goebel Miniatures Era (1980-1994) two very important collector groups were formed by fans and collectors of Olszewski art.  These were The Olszewski Fan Club and the Olszewski Study Group.  Both groups were based in Ohio, Parma and Toledo, respectively, at the time, consisted of a huge Olszewski collector membership.  That which is presented here is renderings of the "Club" and the "Group" provided by the Olszewski Historical Archives.  This information is not intended to be comprehensive, but for reference purposes.
