Personal business records mostly consist of financial documents related to Alice Kagawa Parrott's craft and weaving shop called The Market which was later incorporated as Parrott Fabrics Inc. There are several check registers that list expenses for materials, bills and receipts, sales records, customer orders which detail the cost of materials, information about commissions from individual customers as well as the Santa Fe Opera, and notebooks that list addresses as well as track expenses and financial information. In addition to financial records, there is a lot of documentation about the establishment and running of Parrott Fabrics Inc., its incorporation, by-laws, meeting minutes, financial reports, etc. There are also legal documents and several files of materials on the renovation of Parrott's house and studio.
