Series III: Memorabilia contains items not related to specific compositions by Schickele. It includes personal correspondence, photographs and printed images (such as book covers, images printed on loose calendar pages, and blank postcards), concert programs, pamphlets, newsletters and brochures, newspaper clippings and copies, tape cassettes (containing music sent to Schickele by other composers and recordings of works by W.A. Mozart and possibly C.P.E. Bach), and scores sent to Schickele by other composers. The series includes two sets of stereograph images dated 1874 and 1903.

This series contains scores and documents relating to Lindsey's collaborations - as a composer, arranger, conductor, and pianist - with various popular entertainers. The material primarily pertains to his work in television and on the concert stage. The series primarily comprises scores (conductor or concert, handwritten and typewritten) for arrangements, but also includes a number of original compositions (songs, television cues). Lindsey generally titled his arrangements with the name of the performer it was produced for, and not with the name of the original composer or lyricist. Judging from annotations, Lindsey appears to have performed live from a number of these scores. This series is divided into four subseries, arranged by collaborator. Subseries I.1 and I.2 comprise materials produced for Judy Garland and Merv Griffin respectively - two of Lindsey's closest and most notable collaborators. Subseries I.3 comprises arrangements that Lindsey produced for his wife, Judy Johnson: these arrangements are significantly represented in the Mort Lindsey collection. Subseries I.4 includes collaborations with a range of other performers whose work is less heavily represented within the collection.
