The William C. Fleming Papers document essentially every aspect of his professional life, and detail much of his personal life. Correspondence, manuscripts, degrees/awards, photographs (both personal and academic in nature), postcards, biographical and autobiographical information, family papers, program notes, clippings, lectures and course exams, college papers, and a complete set of his weekly Post-Standard column are included in the collection. The Fleming Papers consist of the following series: Family and Personal Papers, Correspondence, Professional Papers, Syracuse University, Writings, and Subject Files. Photographs, clippings, postcards, and other materials make up the Family and Personal Papers series. The Correspondence series is mostly arranged by family, personal, general, and professional. The Professional Papers series consists of articles, lectures and talks by Fleming, and materials on professional associations. The Syracuse University series includes files on undergraduate and graduate courses, the Study Abroad program, lecture transcripts, the Fine Arts department, and other activities. The Writings series contains materials for Arts and Ideas, Concerts of the Arts, Understanding Music, Art, Music and Ideas, Musical Arts and Styles, and articles from the Syracuse Post-Standard.
