Series 1a: Biographical SEE ALSO: Subseries 6b, box 13.

This subseries consists of files of research on gospel singers which Kukla used to construct a calendar on Newark’s gospel history (calendar is filed in Series 1B, Box 2, Folder 16). The files are alphabetical by last name. Material is mostly printed news articles, with some copies of other materials (fliers, photos). Two dates are given for these files, the date of the original news article or material and the date of the copy (generally 2011). A 2018 addition to this series is jazz research files. There are three binders (alphabetical) of research material on jazz musicians as well as several files.
