Scope and Contents
The Icey Lenora Teel Harling papers date from 1902 to 1973 and measure 12.25 linear inches. The papers are arranged in two series: Scrapbooks and Miscellaneous.
The Scrapbooks (1902-1973) contain newspaper clippings from Harling's professional career, her community involvement, the activities of her students, and activities revolving around her husband and family. The scrapbooks also contain programs from Harling's performances, those from performances sponsored by her School of Expression, and programs for her husband George Harling's band concerts. Many letters to both Harling and her husband and photographs of them and of their family are also included. Loose items from the scrapbooks are filed in box 5 under the title of the scrapbook.
The Legend Round Robin scrapbook comes from a group with which Harling was involved. Members shared legends and stories with each other and compiled them into a notebook.
The Maurice Harling scrapbook was compiled by George Harling's son and contains items about his parents' lives and about his own involvement in politics.
The Miscellaneous series (1917-1962) contains several of Harling's original written works, reviews, portraits, and correspondence (1917-1971 and undated). Also included are brochures from the Mary Andrew Clark Home in California where Harling lived for seven years, and for Camp Dodge in Des Moines, Iowa, where Harling entertained soldiers during World War I.
