| BOX 169-218 DF | Business Papers, 1973-2019 | ||||||||||||
| This series consists of six file units that detail the professional activities of
Norman and her office staff: Correspondence, Travel Papers, Contracts, Financial
Papers, Itineraries and Agendas, and Miscellany. There are three different types
of correspondence. Intraoffice correspondence are faxes and emails exchanged
between Norman, her assistants, and business managers of her company, L’Orchidee,
Inc., of which Norman was president. These discuss her performance schedules,
travel, philanthropic events, and day-to-day activities. There is incoming
correspondence to L’Orchidee from entities outside the office, as well as outgoing
correspondence to these entities from Norman’s assistants in the early 2000s.
These include morning messages from assistant Elizabeth Froemke that briefed
Norman on her travel itineraries, upcoming events, and renovations to her home in
New York while she was touring abroad. Correspondence, receipts, and travel itineraries comprise the Travel Papers file unit. Norman’s travel arrangements were made through travel agencies, by her managers, or through the organization with which she was performing. Often, her plans changed suddenly due to shifting rehearsal schedules and her numerous commitments. Related materials may also be found in the Project Files series. Contracts for recordings, performances, and speaking engagements date from 1983 to 2019. The Financial Papers include expense records, tax information, and royalty statements. Itineraries and Agendas detail Norman’s daily and monthly professional and personal commitments. Some of her managers and assistants created a daily agenda for each performance that listed rehearsal or concert times and locations, travel information, and contact information at the venue. They also kept monthly itineraries, some of which appear in several drafts as plans changed, in order to plan performances while avoiding scheduling conflicts. The bulk of these materials are from the 1990s and 2000s. Kevin Bothwell, Norman’s business manager, kept monthly agendas detailing rehearsals, concerts, events, and other commitments from 1988 to 1997. The small Miscellany file unit contains Norman’s bios that were sent to performing organizations to be printed in programs, along with her repertoire lists and documents from L’Orchidee. |
