{"value"=>"<p>The Val Irving papers, dating from 1928 to 1987, document Irving's performance and management careers through photographs and clippings.</p> <p>Photographs comprise the bulk of the collection. They include prints of Irving with Lou Clayton and Eddie Jackson; Audrey Meadows; Jack Kelly; Rocky Marciano; Ed Sullivan, Robert Merrill; Jack E. Leonard; and Johnny Desmond. Also present are autographed prints of Bob Hope and Steve Allen. Later photographs (1970s – 1987) are informal shots of Irving with his family, and include prints with the pianist Bill Charlap.
