This series contains documents pertaining to original works composed by Beeson. The bulk of the series is comprised of sketches, drafts, holographs, and published scores, but the series also includes related research material, libretto drafts, notes, and correspondence. Almost all of Beeson's works logged in his composition diary are represented here, excepting a few early works; most include a draft with markings and a final-version holograph transparency in the composer's hand.
The series is arranged chronologically by work according to Beeson's "Latouche numbers" (his own system of opus numbers; see Series I). Within each work, materials are arranged in approximate chronological order. The series begins with fourteen spiral notebooks of early sketches and drafts composed while at Eastman, which include sketches and drafts of early Latouche-numbered works, as well as some early compositions not recorded in the Latouche book.
