Question
I was just wondering if you knew why there is a lock of Beethoven's hair at the San Jose State Library. I know it is a random question but I can't find the answer anywhere. Thank you for your time.

Hello Ryan,
A quick Google search turned up this page, which is part of the San Jose State website -- specifically the page of the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies.
http://www2.sjsu.edu/depts/beethoven/
Click on the link that says "Lock of Beethoven's hair" and you'll get the story of how this happened, along with links to things about this lock of hair (including the provenance).
