The Subject Files of the Bill and Andy Spence Papers contain records of folk events, organizations, and conferences that the couple were involved with; calendars; newspaper clippings; photographs; literature; and more related to folk music and the arts. Publications from Andy's Front Hall Records, Andy Spence's folk music storefront, are included in the series. Individual files on figures involved in the folk music scene such as Don McLean, Pete Seeger, and Capital District folk music cafe-owner Lena Spencer were compiled and retained by Andy. Records of the musicals created and directed by Andy and starring Bill have their own files in this series. Files on both the North American Folk Music and Dance Alliance and Folk Alliance Conference comprise a significant portion of this series. Records and photographs related to Bill and Andy's personal interests such as the launching of the Hudson River Sloop "Clearwater" are also included. A variety of LPs and CDs are also available in the series.
