BOXES 62-68, 75-76 |
Personal Papers, 1925-1978 and undated
|
|
This series contains materials from Charles Mingus's life outside his three
businesses, though it contains similar documents: correspondence, financial
papers, legal papers, medical records, and records of expenses, such as invoices
and receipts. Unlike the Business Papers series, the travel documents in this
series are mostly brochures and maps and do not contain itineraries. The files
series "Inscribed Material" consists of books whose authors inscribed their work
to Mingus. "Realia" contains Mingus’s tarot cards, hair from his son Eric’s first
haircut, and Cultivation of Personal Magnetism in Seven
Progressive Steps, a book with pages cut out to store his firearm. |

Album advertisements, Mingus’s and Debut Records artists’ concert and album
reviews, and periodicals comprise the Clippings series. Most of the clippings
concern concerts, including those Mingus gave in Europe and Asia, or biographical
exposés. Mingus kept periodicals and articles about major historical events or
articles on topics of personal interest, which are included in this series. Some
clippings have been photocopied due to physical deterioration. The series is
divided into two file groups: Articles, which are
single articles cut or photocopied from newspapers or magazines, and Periodicals, which contain entire magazines. Several
articles are posthumous tributes to Mingus published after his death in 1979. |
