http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79409382

The Lydia Joel papers span the years 1906-1993 and consist of correspondence, personal papers, teaching notes, grant applications, research material, scripts, student papers, and tests. There are clippings, photographs, programs, and posters. The collection is important in its documentation of the development of the Dance Department of the School of the Performing Arts, but has no information about Joel's tenure with Dance Magazine. There is, however, some limited information about her resignation from the magazine in December 1969. The Lydia Joel papers contain some material relating to Joel's personal life, including her collection of foreign stamps. Also included is her script, Catherine De Medici, Italian Queen of France, and the Beginnings of Ballet. This script was the first program in a projected television series on the cultural relevance of dance throughout history.
