Iconography includes cartoons, pen and ink drawings, watercolors, prints, caricatures, and other items of a visual nature. Many of the works are representations of Bernstein or of a production conducted by Bernstein.
Arranged by format.
BOX 332-334 Includes: comic books; caricatures, including 1 by Klaus Bohle & 1 by Flex Coulter; cartoons; pen and inks, including 7 by Jossi Stern and 7 by Leo Glueckselig; puppets [photographs]; catalogues, including 1 of paintings by Vittorio Piccinini Omaggio a Leonard Bernstein; prints; drawings, including 7 "Scenes from Der Rosenkavalier"; watercolors; highly illustrated/decorated birthday cards; artists' brochures. Most items are of or refer to Bernstein.
BOX 335-386 Programs, 1925-1993
The Programs series contains approximately 2,800 programs (including duplicates) dating from 1925 through 1993. It should be noted, that many significant programs may be found only in the Scrapbooks--particularly those dating through the 1950's. While most of the programs in the collection are concert programs, the Programs series also contains programs to other types of events, including memorial services, films, stage works, radio or television series, tributes, festivals, graduation ceremonies, award ceremonies, and recordings. In general, programs have been organized in date order. In the case of festivals and events that cover a range of dates we have used the earliest date. Some of the programs are for events which Bernstein attended but did not participate in.

At the end of the Programs series are bound collections of programs and typed lists or computer printouts listing Bernstein's concert programs. Some of these items appear to have been compiled and annotated by Bernstein's assistant, Jack Gottlieb. Additional items filed among the general chronology of programs include tour itinerary schedules, clippings regarding specific programs, publicity materials, theatre and orchestra publications, and invitations.
Arranged chronologically.
While it is hard to provide rules for what programs can or cannot be copied without the written permission of a copyright holder, the following information--provided by the General Counsel's Office of the Copyright Office--should be helpful. Published items (which we would consider most programs to be) with no copyright notice and a publication date prior to 1978 are in the public domain. A program published between 1978 and 1989 without a copyright notice is probably in the public domain. Programs that were copyrighted more than 75 years ago are in the public domain; and, if they were copyrighted, but not renewed within 28 years prior to 1978 they are in the public domain. After 1989 copyright notices became optional. Programs which are under copyright may still be copied to the degree covered by "fair use." In general, copying factual information from a program (such as the pages that list what works are being performed, song titles, listings of performers, designers, etc.) is more likely to be covered by "fair use" than articles or program notes.
