BOX 1-7 Regional Files, 1941-1982
An expansive series of files that document Strickland's travels throughout his career, beginning with his service in the U.S. Army. In many cases, Strickland remained in a given region for a period ranging from several months to several years. The series is arranged chronologically, with each major region divided into four distinct sub-series: correspondence (related directly to each region), concert programs, publicity materials (advertisements, newspaper and magazine clippings), and miscellaneous documents. Many of the foreign language clippings are supplemented with translations provided by the U.S. State Department.
Chiefly arranged chronologically by region/year.
