{"value"=>"<p>The Research Materials series is comprised of clippings, notes, programs, and additional items assembled by Michel in preparation for his reviews and scholarly writings. Michel, who was multilingual, was inconsistent in his use of language for categorizing his files; in general, English terms have been supplied in the container list, except in a few instances for those terms which are more frequently identified by their original language in English usage (for example, basse danse), and some German concepts, for which no straightforward English equivalent could be found. Major subjects covered include ballet, court dance, folk dance, and modern dance; particularly dance in Germany during the 1920s and early 1930s. An item of special interest is a printed German libretto from 1832 for a ballet with Fanny Elssler. The majority of the materials are in German (and Michel took many of his notes in shorthand), but there are some items in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. Also interspersed throughout several of the folders are carbon copies of typescripts of Michel's reviews, most likely done for <span class=\"title\">Aufbau</span>. Many of the materials in this series are fragile and require careful handling.</p>"}
