Scope and Content of the Collection

From the Collection:

Records include materials such as dance production files, printed music, correspondence, programs, brochures, newsletters, clippings, photographs, personal writings, scrapbooks, and audiovisual materials.

The records reflect the personal and professional lives of Stone and Camryn in addition to records about the Stone-Camryn School of Ballet. The collection also includes notes and published materials by Camryn on dance teaching and techniques. As Camryn was the more prolific writer of the two, the majority of works in the collection are his. Camryn also seemed to keep more souvenirs and documentation, which is reflected in his many journals, clippings, scrapbooks, and collections of autographed photos of both dancers and film stars. The audiovisual materials include recordings of music for Stone-Camryn School performances and commercial recordings assumed to be used while teaching class.
