+	<p>
+  Collection objects serve as merely a wrapper for a cell-array of LTPDA User Objects. The point of this is to provide 
+  a way to put together user objects of different classes in to a collection which can be saved/loaded/submitted/retrieved, etc.
+</p>
+<p>
+  You can create a <tt>collection</tt> object like:
+  <div class="fragment"><pre>
+      >> c = collection
+      ---- collection 1 ----
+      name: none
+      num objs: 0
+      description: 
+      UUID: a339a156-956b-4657-96ef-9ea4feef8101
+      ----------------------
+      
+  </pre></div>
+  You can then add objects to the collection by doing:
+  <div class="fragment"><pre>
+      >> c.addObjects(ao(1))
+      M: running ao/ao
+      M:   constructing from values
+      M: running collection/addObjects
+      M: running ao/char
+      ---- collection 1 ----
+      name: none
+      num objs: 1
+      01: ao | None/cdata(Ndata=[1x1])
+      description: 
+      UUID: c1f0200f-ad98-4fd6-beae-2dcdabb33515
+      ----------------------
+      
+  </pre></div>
+  or
+  <div class="fragment"><pre>
+      >> c.addObjects(pzmodel(1, 10, 100), mfir())
+      M: running collection/addObjects
+      M: running ao/char
+      ---- collection 1 ----
+      name: none
+      num objs: 3
+      01: ao | None/cdata(Ndata=[1x1])
+      02: pzmodel | pzmodel(None)
+      03: mfir | none(fs=, ntaps=0.00, a=[])
+      description: 
+      UUID: e7f02380-5650-4788-b819-f7fa7ee50a7d
+      ----------------------
+      
+  </pre></div>
+</p>
+<p>
+  You can then extract objects from the collection using <tt>getObjectAtIndex</tt> or get an array of all 
+  objects of a particular class using <tt>getObjectsOfClass</tt>. Objects can be removed from the collection using
+  <tt>removeObjectAtIndex</tt>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Since a <tt>collection</tt> object is an LTPDA User Object, it has history tracking capabilities. That means that everytime you
+  add or remove an object to/from the collection, a history step is added. For example, the history of our collection above looks like:
+  <img src="images/collection_history.png" alt="Collection history" border="3">
