The Scheduling Records include scheduling requests (chronologically arranged), miscellaneous files (arranged alphabetically by folder title), subject files (arranged alphabetically by folder title), and travel files (arranged alphabetically by folder title, i.e., name of event to which travel was undertaken). The scheduling requests document the meetings, speaking engagements, public ceremonies, social events, and other activities that the Mayor or members of his staff were scheduled to attend. Included in the files are invitations, correspondence, telephone call notes, typed schedule sheets, and similar materials dealing with such activities. Generally each item is filed in the month in which the event took place, although in some cases items are filed in the month received. The records may be useful for several purposes. To a considerable extent they document the day-to-day activities of the Mayor. They also are useful in showing how the Mayor's staff managed access to him (i.e., who was important enough or had a compelling enough reason to get an appointment). On another level, the records also provide a "catalog" of the political, economic, cultural, and social events of the Morial years.
