{"value"=>"<p>This series is primarily comprised of Schlesinger's annual appointment books and books of phone messages from his office. The appointment books contain daily entries detailing Schlesinger's personal and professional meetings. In later years, birthdays of family members and friends (including their years of birth) are noted on the appropriate day's entry. Schlesinger appears to have maintained the appointment books himself, and they serve as a means of reconstructing Schlesinger's days and evenings as he met with the important cultural, intellectual and political figures of his time. Most years have more than one corresponding appointment book. The phone message books were maintained by Schlesinger's secretary from 1966-1988. Entries list the caller, the time and date of the call, and any message left. In addition, the series contains a book detailing Schlesinger's periodical subscriptions in the 1970s and 1980s, and a book detailing Schlesinger's organizational memberships in the same era.</p>"}
