The Dance Companies series, (.10 linear feet, 1974-1999), includes clippings and publicity from three dance companies Sparling was intimately involved with--Ann Arbor Dance Works, Dance Gallery/Peter Sparling & Co., and the Martha Graham Dance Company.
The series, Programs (.25 linear feet, 1961-2001), contains an incomplete set of performance programs for events at which Sparling performed, or performances of his works by other dancers. The programs are dated 1961 through 2001, and include programs from Sparling's early performances with the violin. Most contain program notes, and biographical information about the performers.
