Jim Beller has been collecting items from the film JAWS since he was 9-years-old right after the film was released in 1975. Over the years, he has received questions and emails inquiring about JAWS items. This website contains his entire JAWS Collection with items from 1973 to the present.

This collection has been seen on Animal Planet’s Animal Icons JAWS Special, the JAWS Limited Edition 30th Anniversary European DVD Box Set, and was seen on Display at the 2005 Sitges International Film Festival in Sitges, Spain and at Richard Ellis’ exhibit SHARK at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale in 2013. Some items are currently on loan to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum in Vineyard Haven.
