The notebooks in this collection consist primarily of summaries and grant applications, the latter of which comprise the bulk of the volumes. The grant applications are further subdivided into categories such as professional, short season, and developmental theaters; theater for youth; services to the field; general programs; state art agencies; training; challenge grants; rejected and tabled applications; touring companies; and exchange fellowships.
The notebooks were acquired by theatrical director Alan Schneider, who served as a member of the Theatre Advisory Panel, and a few pages contain brief annotations by him. The notebooks are in chronological order by meeting date.
