General description of the complete original artifact: Carnegie Hall's booking ledgers used to schedule performances and record every event hosted by Carnegie Hall's venues from 1955 - 2007. For each date, there is a column for each of the three halls (Main, Recital, and Chapter). Within that, there are slots to schedule shows for different times of the day (e.g. matinee, evening), where the name of the performer is recorded.
Estimated number of records in data set: 24000
Estimated number of fields if this were a database: 7
Estimated time to digitize all records in set (hours): 400
Time period when data was created: 1955-2007
Organization creating data: Carnegie Hall
Individual who created data (if known or guessable).: Unknown - Carnegie Hall performance coordinator?
Shortcomings of this taxonomy for data set (if any): The lease close date is not recorded consistently. If a performance was cancelled last minute, it may not be recorded in the ledger. Changes in the schedule are not marked with when the changes were made.
Notes about the image you chose: Scheduled performances for Oct 1-2, 1955. On these days, there were many changes in schedule before the performance days. For the Recital Hall and Main Hall, almost the entire day was booked with performances for both days, while the Chapter Hall only had one performance over both days. On October 2 (Sunday), the Church of Healing Christ performed in the morning - this could have been a religious service or event.
