Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
Collection comprises the collected papers and manuscript materials of J. Ruben Garcia and his immediate family. These papers relate to his and his wife Corrine's first professional career as dance performance artists and their subsequent relocation to Catskill where he became a teacher in several local school districts. Other papers relate to his community involvement and organizational work on the board of the Greene County Council on the Arts and the Greene County Historical Society, two non-profits which he served as an officer on the boards. Also of note within the collection is early correspondence with notable figures in the arts community during his time as a dancer, as well as selections of film footage. This footage includes a short film produced by Garcia titled "Rehearsal for Broadway" as well as a collection of super-8 footage shot by students at Coxsackie-Athens CSD for a school project under his guidance.
