Series I. Mudd Club, 1970-2019, inclusive; 1979-1983, bulk

The Mudd Club series includes a large number of notebooks which contain planning and working notes. In particular are the annotated calendars spanning the years 1979 to 1983 which document the booking process for the nightclub and span the club's lifetime. Other notebooks created during the Mudd Club's operation include business notes, such as floor plans, diagrams, phone numbers, business cards, and other vendor information and coordination notes. This series contains a large number of photographic prints, negatives, and slides of parties and events at the Mudd Club, as well as slides and slide shows that were projected during events. Additional materials such as business plans and proposals, legal correspondence, check ledgers, and other financial records document the administrative side of the club's operation. There are also magazines, newspapers, and a limited run of the East Village Eye, which highlight the press coverage and publicity around the Mudd Club at the time. Promotional materials includes photographic and Xeroxed images, newspaper and magazine clippings, transparencies, and mockups and layouts of posters, newsletters, postcards, brochures, programs, invitations, or flyers. Membership cards, a guest book, a photo album, mailing lists and labels, and Rolodex contents document club attendees, vendors, and performers.

This series also includes handwritten notes, outlines, diary entries, and typescript manuscript drafts for Mass's unpublished memoir, as well as competitive analysis and manuscript submission packets to publishers; interview transcripts and correspondence with Tim Lawrence; and a copy of The Riddle of Dr. Mudd. There are also audiovisual materials, such as audiocassettes and film and sound reels.
