This subseries holds research files utilized by Orbanes for his book The Game Makers. Phil conducted interviews with former employees, such as Channing Bacall and Ranny Barton (two relatives of George S. Parker) who worked at the Parker Brothers’ plant in Salem, Massachusetts. Orbanes gained access to the Parker Brothers’ archives as well as George S. Parker’s family papers. Within this subseries is information on a wide variety of early Parker Brothers games, including game instructions and photographs. It has been further subdivided into three categories: Name/subject files; News articles; and Advertising. (Many of the full-color advertisements are oversized and housed in Box 13.)
