{"value"=>"<p>The Press and Publicity series, dating from 1949 to the 2000s, pertains to Channing's public persona and how she was covered in the media, and holds awards and honors she received throughout her career. It is arranged into Scrapbooks, Loose Clippings, Programs, Posters, and Awards.</p> <p>The fifty-two scrapbooks of clippings, ordered chronologically, provide a nearly complete collection of Channing's media coverage from 1957 to 1981, including reviews, profiles, announcements, and advertisements from a wide array of publications. Occasional programs, posters, letters, telegrams, and photographs accompany the clippings. Milestones covered in the scrapbooks include Channing's nightclub act of the late 1950s; her <span class=\"title\">Show Business</span> tour and subsequent opening of <span class=\"title\">Show Girl</span> on Broadway (extensively documented by multiple scrapbooks from 1959 to 1961); 1960s television specials; <span class=\"title\">Hello, Dolly</span> tours of the 1960s and 1970s; her Super Bowl halftime show; and <span class=\"title\">Lorelei</span>'s debut. A scrapbook of Channing Lowe's artwork is ordered after the chronological listing.</p> <p>Loose clippings complement the scrapbooks by covering years outside their scope, namely 1949 to 1956, 1964, and the 1980s to the 2000s. Substantial coverage of the first year of <span class=\"title\">Hello, Dolly!</span> on Broadway is contained here, as well clippings covering <span class=\"title\">Gentlemen Prefer Blondes</span> and Channing's heightened celebrity following its initial performances. Clippings from the 1980s to the 2000s cover Channing's later <span class=\"title\">Hello, Dolly!</span> tours, concerts, and various awards she received.</p> <p>The programs are ordered into Concerts and Events, and Theater, with the latter being prominent. There are programs for Channing's early Broadway productions: <span class=\"title\">Lend an Ear</span>, <span class=\"title\">Gentlemen Prefer Blondes</span>, <span class=\"title\">Wonderful Town</span>, and <span class=\"title\">The Vamp</span>. Many <span class=\"title\">Hello, Dolly!</span> programs from 1964 to 1996 are included, as are programs for <span class=\"title\">Show Girl</span>, <span class=\"title\">Four on a Garden</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Lorelei</span>.</p> <p>As with the programs, most of the posters are for theater performances, particularly <span class=\"title\">Hello, Dolly!</span> and <span class=\"title\">Show Business</span>. There are a few posters for Channing's concerts, and for promotional campaigns in which she participated, namely Peoples Jewellers.</p> <p>The awards are arranged chronologically and include printed certificates and plaques of citations, resolutions, proclamations, and honors received by Channing. The citations, resolutions, and proclamations are from a variety of cities and signed by government officials.
