The Political and Cultural Activities (3.5 linear feet) series contains information about the Jabara's cultural and political activities interests. The series has been arranged alphabetically. Perhaps the most extensive portion of the series is the documentation of the 1977 National Lawyers Guild Middle East Delegation that traveled to Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the Occupied Territories in July 1977 to observe and report on the Palestine liberation movement, the state of opposition in Israel, and the condition and treatment of Palestinians living in Israeli Occupied Territories. Jabara was influential in arranging the trip and was also a member of the delegation. Included in this collection are several folders of correspondence, clippings that express the attitude towards the visit from the popular and legal press, and copies of the minority and majority reports compiled and published by the NLG.

The final series is POSTERS, (20 linear feet, 1974-1994). Included are a number of posters from various performances by Sparling or of one of his works. They are dated from 1974 to 1994. Also included in this series are thirteen oversized drawings. The drawings are mainly artist's sketches in pastel, ink, and watercolors that were later used for program covers.

The series, Programs (.25 linear feet, 1961-2001), contains an incomplete set of performance programs for events at which Sparling performed, or performances of his works by other dancers. The programs are dated 1961 through 2001, and include programs from Sparling's early performances with the violin. Most contain program notes, and biographical information about the performers.
