BOX 233-245 Diaries, 1910-1985
The Diaries are divided into two sections, Datebooks and Journals. The datebooks range from 1935 to 1985, except for the year 1954, and were generally used to briefly record his daily activities. The desk size books from 1942 to 1969 also enumerate the commissions offered to him by individuals and/or organizations. The pocket size books were apparently used during domestic or foreign trips. The Journals consist of notebooks which record activities, list items and report on events and trips. The material dates from his 1910 reminiscences and extends to comments about his 1973 European trip. The journal dated from 1941-1973 includes family genealogy charts. Two journals describe the creation of the music scores for two films, "The Red Pony" and "Something Wild". The date spans represent the actual span of year dates noted in the journal. See the Index for Journals with AC Numbers for an explanation and list of the journals in numeric order.
Arranged by subseries.
Because of the fragile nature of some journals, the originals and archival photocopies will not be served to researchers. Photocopies of the journals, which are placed in binders, will be available to researchers.
