content: Regarding the periodicals, Down Beat and Metronome each comprise their own subseries due to the relatively large number of issues collected.  All other periodicals are arranged alphabetically by title.  Together, the periodicals comprise approximately 1.75 linear feet.  Three periodicals are oversized:  L.A. Jazz Scene (14 x 11 in.) and two issues of Overture (15 x 11.5 in.)  The four periodical articles are arranged alphabetically by article title.  Most of the periodicals deal with the U.S. Jazz music scene in the 1940's and 1950's.  Subseries 1: Down Beat is fairly complete for the decade of the 1940's and is arranged chronologically.  Subseries 2 consists of collected editions of Metronome.  This magazine underwent a number of slight name changes so the editions are arranged this way and also by chronology.  A third miscellaneous subseries is arranged alphabetically by name of periodical.  This subseries contains a number of television-related periodicals, usually with announcements or advertisements for Red Norvo concert engagements.
