Contracts covering Fitzgerald performances from 1952 until 1969. They are predominately domestic performances, and are arranged by date. There are also song lists for performances, itineraries, foreign work permits, and publicity materials. Many of the song lists are in Fitzgerald's hand and are written on envelopes, hotel stationary, and grocery lists. There are also Fitzgerald's handwritten pages of lyrics to oft-performed, well-known songs.
