content: Series 1 consists of paper materials from 1959-1986 and undated related to Chickering and Porterfield's travel lecture films. These materials include scripts, lecture records, promotional materials and advertisements, and supplementary production materials including continuity sheets and decorative maps. Included also are materials for an unrealized travel television show using the same or similar footage.

The scripts consist of full and incomplete narrations for the lectures Chickering and Porterfield delivered over their five silent travel films. Lecture records and promotional materials provide specificity about itineraries, fees, hosts, and peers on the travel lecture circuit. Paper materials found in film cans are technical and provide records of timing, color correction, and cleaning.

Note that some films were occasionally referred to by different titles (most notably, Tropical Touch of the Dutch for Caribbean Dutch Treat). Materials have been filed under the predominating name.

For sound recordings of several live travel film lectures delivered by Chickering and Porterfield, see series 7. For material related to Chickering and Porterfield's umbrella production company, Viewpoints, Inc., see series 5.1. For associated still photography captions, please see series 2.2.

This series is arranged in 4 subseries: 1.1 Paper materials found in film cans, 1964-1976, undated; 1.2 Scripts, circa 1960-circa 1973; 1.3 Lecture circuit materials, 1959-1986, undated; 1.4 Supplementary production material, circa 1960-circa 1963.
