This series consists of Beard's appointment books from the 1970s, his correspondence, photographs, restaurant menus he collected, and other memorabilia. The correspondence is a mix of personal and professional, and includes notes and letters he wrote to Isabel Callvert, letters he wrote to Helen Evans Brown, and readers' letters to Beard about his book "Beard on Bread." The photographs include publicity portraits and images of Beard teaching cooking classes. Some of the menus in this series are for restaurants that Beard was involved with.
