Jubilee Singers. European Tour collection, 1873-1878 (bulk, 1875-1877).

Title: European Tour collection, 1873-1878 (bulk, 1875-1877).

Collection contains correspondence, financial records and miscellaneous records. Series II: Financial records encompasses three subseries: Agent Reports, Bills, and Miscellaneous Financial Materials. This series contains documents which indicate the costs of their expeditions to Europe. Profits and expenditures from the Jubilee Singers' concerts are shown in reports, receipts, bills, and some financial correspondence. The Agent Reports typically consist of an itemized form filled out by agents who lived in the cities where the concerts were held. These agents had the responsibility of making the arrangements for their concerts, boarding and lodging, advertising, and any other essential accommodations; this was necessary due to the unfamiliarity of the cities to the American managers, chaperones, and singers. Receipts and bills for public halls, hotels, stationery production, and advertisements in local newspapers are also among the items included in the chronologically-arranged folders which follow their tour cities and dates. Hotel, newspaper advertisment, public hall, and stationery/printing bills are all included in the Bills subseries. This subseries is arranged chronologically by type of bill, but has single bills disconnected from agent reports. These bills, which may once have been connected to agent reports, are sometimes the only indicators of time spent in various cities on the European tour. Also found in this subseries are Dutch and German financial records from tours throughout the Netherlands and Germany. The Miscellaneous Financial Materials subseries does not fall under either of the two previous subseries. Documents include the personal salaries and expenditures of the managers, checks, receipts, and check and agent report registers. Jubilee Hall account information is also found in this subseries. Series III: Miscellaneous contains documents that do not fall within the scope of the aforementioned series. Business cards and notes without dates, as well as newspaper clippings are among the items in this group. Lists of names of supporters in different locations are in this series, as well as a publication from the Church of the Pilgrims, South entitled Lost But Found.

Century Company records

Title: Century Company records

The Century Company published the Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, which was widely regarded as the best general periodical of its time, performing a role as cultural arbiter during the 1880s and 1890s. It was founded in New York City in 1881 and also published the children's magazine St. Nicholas, dictionaries, and books. The Century Company records date from 1870 to the 1930s and chiefly contain correspondence with contributors, readers, public figures, and literary agents. A number of manuscripts and proofs in the collection are extensively edited and taken with annotations on letters provide a detailed record of the outlook, standards, and functions of the company.
