+# _In progress_
+
+h2. What is a collection?
+
+p. Backbone collections are simply an ordered set of "models":/what-is-a-model.   Such that it can be used in situations such as;
+
+* Model: Student, Collection: ClassStudents 
+* Model: Todo Item, Collection: Todo List
+* Model: Animals, Collection: Zoo
+
+Typically your collection will only use one type of model but models themselves are not limited to a type of collection;
+
+* Model: Student, Collection: Gym Class
+* Model: Student, Collection: Art Class
+* Model: Student, Collection: English Class
+
+Here is a generic Model/Collection example.
+
+{% highlight javascript %}
+
+    var Song = Backbone.Model.extend({
+        initialize: function(){
+            console.log("Music is the answer");
+        }
+    });
+    
+    var Album = Backbone.Collection.extend({
+		model: Song
+	});
+
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+h3. Building a collection
+
+p. Now we are going to populate a creation with some useful data.
+
+{% highlight javascript %}
+
+    var Song = Backbone.Model.extend({
+		defaults: {
+			name: "Not specified",
+			artist: "Not specified"
+		},
+        initialize: function(){
+            console.log("Music is the answer");
+        }
+    });
+    
+    var Album = Backbone.Collection.extend({
+		model: Song
+	});
+	
+	var song1 = new Song({ name: "How Bizarre", artist: "OMC" });
+	var song2 = new Song({ name: "Sexual Healing", artist: "Marvin Gaye" });
+	var song3 = new Song({ name: "Talk It Over In Bed", artist: "OMC" });
+	
+	var myAlbum = new Album([ song1, song2, song3]);
+	console.log( myAlbum.models ); // [song1, song2, song3]
+	
+{% endhighlight %}
