Professional and personal papers include a catalog of his work by William W. Jones and a biographical article by Gordon Rumson; memorabilia from concert performances of Fickénscher and his wife, Edith; business records of McIntire concerts at the University of Virginia, 1919-1939 which include copies of contracts with Pablo Casals, Amelita Galli-Curci, Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, Yehudi Menuhin, and Rosa Ponselle; family memorabilia including photographs; reviews; clippings; and a variety of material concerning his invention of the Polytone. There is also an autographed copy of Peter Van de Kamp's "Lullaby," and a 33 1/3 recording of Fickénscher's setting of Rossetti's "Willowwood." Correspondents include Howald T. Bailey, Alfred V. Frankenstein, Arditha F. Fickénscher, Edith C. Fickénscher, Max Friedländer, Percy Grainger, Edwin Hughes, Walter E. Koons, Quinto Maganini, Robert S. Pace, and Karl Wecker.
