Scope and arrangement
The collection dates from 1931 to 2003 and contains items chronicling the life and career of Wendy Hilton. The bulk of the files consist of materials compiled by Hilton's biographer, Susan Bindig, which she consulted in writing the book, Wendy Hilton: A Life in Baroque Dance and Music (2010).
Files recounting Hilton's dance performance career contain clippings of articles and reviews, fliers, photographs, and programs. These files also hold a selection of awards and honors, Hilton's United States immigration paperwork, and a 1974 Certificate of Business for the Wendy Hilton Dance Company.
The Teaching and Choreography files are mostly comprised of materials from Hilton's time at Juilliard and Stanford, which are all found in box 2. There are also files from her instruction and workshops at Douglas College, University of California, Victoria University of Wellington, and Montclair State University.
Hilton's Writing and Research contains articles written by Hilton, and a selection of files with information and plans for the unpublished book, A Celebration of Lully. These folders hold correspondence with publishers, drafts, notes, sheet music, and research files.
The Personal files consist of Hilton's correspondence, photographs from her youth in England, and items related to her memorial service.
