Additional documentation from Stiga's collection pertaining to productions, performers, and works of interest are contained in this subseries. These include numerous souvenir programs from dance performances, opera companies, and performance venues. Auction and exhibition catalogs provide insight into items on display and available for sale while Stiga was collecting. Articles and clippings here pertain to general design topics in dance, motion pictures, opera, and theater. A file on gifts and loans documents Stiga's use of his collection and contains exhibition records from institutions that borrowed renderings. Folders of theater programs include several from productions represented in the Design Renderings series. Other materials collected by Stiga, such as photographs of Katharine Cornell and a scrapbook on Pola Negri, are also found in this subseries.
