Scope and Content Note
This series contains the notebooks, address books, card files, scrapbooks, calendars, and other bound items kept by Dawson. His composition sketchbooks and most other musical notes are located in the scores series. The notebooks are an undated and generally unorganized mixture of daily notes kept by Dawson, including drafts of correspondence, addresses and phone numbers, some composition notes, particularly of musical text, teaching notes from Kansas City, Missouri and possibly the Tuskegee Institute, and a partially completed autobiography. Of particular interest in this series are the travel diaries, which document Dawson's travel expenditures from 1918-1929 and 1952-1987. Most entries merely list expenses, although some diaries, particularly during the 1920s, include personal observations. This series also contains the travel journal Dawson kept during his trip to Spain in 1956, a card index of his personal library, a guestbook probably kept at the Dawson home, and a number of scrapbooks compiled by several of the groups Dawson conducted.
Arrangement Note
Items in this series are arranged by document type and then chronologically, if material is dated.
