Primarily audio disc and audiotape recordings. Most of the recordings are 33 1/3 rpm discs, and cover the years 1939 to 1987. They include test pressings and reference recordings of Fitzgerald classics like the "Cole Porter Songbook" and "Ella in Berlin", airchecks of performances from venues like the Savoy Ballroom, commercially issued copies of Fitzgerald recordings, and non-Fitzgerald related discs. There are also original audiotape recordings of live performances and interviews.

The moving image portion of this series includes film and videotape. These are primarily copies of Fitzgerald's appearances on various television shows.
