Manuscripts
The collection consists of 21 volumes belonging to artist Charles Broughton from 1888 to 1944. Each volume is a combination of diary, journal, commonplace book, and sketchbook. The cross-hatching sketches, drawn by Broughton, are of animals, places, outdoor scenes, historical figures, and common people (perhaps Broughton knew them or came across the individuals and sketched them). Some of the sketches also relate to Broughton's travels, as well as the First and Second World Wars.

Manuscripts
This collection contains the records of the Pasadena Playhouse, a community theater established in Pasadena, California, in 1917. Materials consist primarily of theater programs, scrapbooks, business records, correspondence, clippings, scripts, school catalogues, brochures and ephemera, indexes, photographs, original drawings of set and costume designs, and research materials originally housed in the organization's library. The materials document the performance history of the various theaters of the Playhouse and also contain partial administrative records and school records, with particular strength in coverage for the "Mainstage" theater and an extensive run of programs and performance photographs. The core records are strengthened by the complementary personal paper collections of directors, performers, and others associated with the Playhouse.
