Boxes 1-8, 10 contain personnel files from the offices of various staff members including Charles Fullmer, Tom Manion, Richard Cisek, Richard Bass, and Clifton Jackson. They were re-arranged from the original offices of origin. They seem to have come from the President’s office, Human Resources Department (after its establishment), General Manager’s offices, and the Orchestra Personnel Manager’s office. The files relate to personnel matters pertaining to both Orchestra staff and musicians. In many files, only a sample of items were retained.

The Labor Negotiations files, Boxes 6-7, are confidential. They include correspondence regarding personnel and staffing issues within the Orchestra.

Box 9 is a card file, perhaps kept by the Personnel Manager. There is one card for each musician that lists details of employment: which instrument and chair, when they left the Orchestra and for what reason, death details when relevant. Also included are cards listing the principal players in each section from 1903 through the 35th season.

Boxes 11- 27 are from the office of the Personnel Administrator and the Personnel Assistant. They were responsible for securing replacement musicians and additional musicians when necessary. The files contain concert-by-concert information including rehearsal orders, repertoire, and information relating to hiring. For some years there were two binders for each season, one from the Personnel administrator and one from the assistant; much of the materials were duplicates, so the two sets of records were merged and duplicates were discarded.
