20000 VolumesThe Graphic Arts collection contains over 20,000 books on the history of printing and publishing, and related topics such as illustrative techniques, bookbinding, calligraphy, and book collecting.

The books, classed in the Library of Congress system, are found in CLIO.

This subseries contains material relating to Lindsey's collaborations with Judy Garland in the 1960s. Much of the material in this subseries relates to Lindsey's work on The Judy Garland Show (1963-1964), for which he arranged all the music, composed a number of cues and songs, conducted the band, and accompanied Garland on the piano. His music for Judy Garland are generally represented in annotated conductor scores (usually ozalid copies of calligraphy scores produced by a copyist): there are no instrumental parts and only one (manuscript) concert score. Through The Judy Garland Show, Lindsey arranged music for many of the show's musical guests: these performers are listed at the folder level. This collection does not include all of the music that Lindsey produced for The Judy Garland Show: the musical numbers from several episodes are missing in their entirety. This subseries includes a number of print documents that chart Lindsey's work with Garland, both on television and on stage. Material relating to Lindsey's work on films that starred Judy Garland can be found in Series II.
