- Scope and Contents
- Liebes's desk diaries record over two decades of fast-paced daily and evening work, leisure, and travel schedules. Beginning in 1952, many of the diaries also record the daily activities of her studio as reported by staff on days when Liebes was away. These reports are in the form of memos typed on note pads and pasted onto the day to which they apply. The memos report phone messages, orders, requests, questions, and duties undertaken in the studio that day. Entries by Liebes tend to be notations of appointments and short summaries of events and activities. One of the desk diaries for 1949 belongs to Relman Morin and is a journal with daily entries for the entire year.
