The 15 journals which survived Bella Golden's determination to destroy her personal papers, are simply listed in this guide. Rough notes, taken by the archivist during the processing stage, are included for the researcher's convenience, they may not be copied.

The journals have daily entries and cover the weather, theatrical tours and performances for the year. The New Harmony retirement years recount activities of the Golden family members, social visits, and social club events; births, marriages, illnesses and deaths of townspeople. Occasionally Bella's brief, personal observations reveal a family difficulty or situation, and even more rarely, her deep, personal feelings.

Series: Manuscript Plays, 1837-1935

The manuscript plays (approximately 152) were probably frequently performed by the Golden Troupe as they have obviously been well used. Often sides and the prompter's book are included. Sometimes portions of the play are missing, and the handwriting varies. As an examination. of the playbills and programs can attest, many of the plays that have survived formed a regular part of the company's repertoire. Those that are in the worst condition were likely to be the ones most often produced.

The play titles in this section will be encountered in the lists of printed plays, playbills,and the music because they are among the most popular of the Golden productions. Twenty-three of the 152 are plays written by William Echard during the late 1880's and 1890's. Some were copyrighted and produced.

Series: Printed Plays, 1808-1925

The printed play collection is remarkable both for its quantity and quality. It numbers 495 specific titles, with a total of 765 items, which figure includes multiple copies of some plays. The earliest is dated 1808, and there are some specimens from every decade of the 19th century. All types are represented: one-act to seven-act opuses; comedies and' tragedies; comediettas, opera buffa and burlettas, melodramas, Ethiopian dramas; many are set in exotic countries replete with costumes to match. Most of the books show signs of use; those in the best state were probably performed seldom.
Between the manuscript plays and the printed plays one can formulate an excellent idea of what the American theatre was like during the second half of the 19th century. Because theatrical troupes gave long programs and had daily changes, the Golden repertoire offered a large variety. It ranged from Shakespeare's great tragedies to French, Italian and German translations of contemporary European theatre, highly moral pieces to light comedies and burlesques, medieval settings and oriental countries to the American forest primeval peopled by the "noble savage." Perusing these almost five hundred plays strikes one with awe over the effort that mastery of these dramatic works required.

These plays were published both in America and Europe by well-known publishers: Samuel French (father and son), William V. Spencer, William Taylor, Thomas Hailes Lacy, J. Duncombe, John Cumberland, Carey and Lea, among others. The copies are well- marked with stage directions and signatures of ownership. Bella's books request their return after each performance.

Series: The Bills of the Play, and Programs, 1857-1928

This extensive group of almost 1250 items is divided into four manageable sections: I. the Goldens' performances in New Harmony; II. the Goldens'performances other than in New Harmony; Indianapolis; numerous towns in Texas; as members of several companies; cities and towns of the Midwest, in the east and southeast; and a bound collection of playbills of performances at the New Metropolitan Theatre in Evansville, 1865-1866. III. two packets of large-dimensioned playbills in color measuring 23" X 30" and 16" X 39"; IV. playbills and programs featuring other than Goldens in mostly New York theatres.

The manuscript plays and the printed plays illustrate what the Golden Troupe could have done during their stage careers; the playbills are concrete evidence of what they actually accomplished.

Because of the fragiile condition and difficulty of preserving them, examination of the playbills is strictly limited.

Series: Music Collection

Each member of the Golden family acted and sang. Therefore, it is not surprising that there should be an extensive amount of music in this collection. It is divided into three sections: sheet music, instrumental music, and publications. The sheet music comprises 181 individual pieces and three bound collections, the single sheets being accommodated in two 123 X 17 cm. boxes. The instrumental music, totalling 218 items, contains both manu- scripts and print. It covers popular airs of the day, concent pieces, and operatic arias. The printed material contains bound copies of specific works and opera dcores and librettos (owned and used by Grace Golden). The arrangements are scored for the piano and - various other instruments. One series of 13 bound manuscripts apparently served the Golden Troupe's orchestra for many of its performances.

A small but useful group of publications contains periodicals and books or booklets. These include monthlies like Keynote and Folio, which were devoted to music, drama, literature and art. The book assortment is small but contains the rare Pittsburgh Selection of Psalm Tunes... (1816)
