{"value"=>"<p>Series II consists of materials related to Martin's personal life and growth. Family photographs (many of Martin as a child), plays, manuscripts, and art produced by friends and colleagues, educational materials including Martin's labanotation books, legal papers, financial material, and awards are held here. Martin's educational materials include his labanotation study books and pamphlets, diplomas, and photographs and materials from his honorary degree ceremony at Ohio University in 1974. The financial materials in this series primarily concern receipts for gifts, including the gifts of his wife's marionettes to the Museum of the City of New York after her death. Legal documents consist of Martin's honorary discharge certificate from the army and estate and will documents. Martin retained scripts and screenplays written by his acquaintances from his time working with the theater, such as a marionette adaptation of <span class=\"title\">The Rose and the Ring</span> written by his wife before their marriage. Martin's family and personal photographs are also held within this series, and consist of pictures of his parents, siblings, and his wife, as well as some later photographs of Martin with colleagues. A small amount of material relating to his wife, Hettie Louise Martin is here. A scrapbook created in 1969 by friend Brad Bjork contains photographs of Martin accompanied by some of his most famous quotations regarding dance. Of interest in this series is Martin's proposal for a dance company at UCLA in 1962. Arranged alphabetically.</p> <p>This series also contains two reel to reel tapes of Martin's 1970 lectures on Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey. Inquiries regarding audio materials in the collection may be directed to the Jerome Robbins Dance Division. Audio/visual materials may be subject to preservation evaluation and migration prior to access.</p>"}
