Large archive of photographs, documents, letters, and other ephemera covering the personal life of Lawrence Tibbett. Collection includes: well over (100) vintage photographs documenting Lawrence Tibbett's personal and professional life, the majority being 8" x 10" personality portraits; (15) oversize vintage photographs of Tibbett, a few being photographer-signed; large file of memos, contracts, proposals, etc. concerning construction of the home at 933 Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills; small binder filled with invitations to society events; and (2) larger binders filled with personal letters from Tibbett to his wife and son Richard, exhibiting much Sturm and Drang of an absentee celebrity husband and father.
