Marshall and Jean Stearns, 1956 - 1979

This is a mixed series mostly personal items relating to Marshall Stearns and his second wife and collaborator, Jean Barnett Stearns, which explains why some of the material in this series dates 14 years after Stearns' death, with the exception of the photographs, some dating from as early as the 1930s which are grouped together. Of special note are a 1961 resume, which further details his extensive writings on jazz and jazz dance, and other biographical items in the first folder of this series as well as obituaries and tributes to Stearns, as well as newspaper clippings referencing Jean Stearns after Marshall's death.
