Scope and Content The 1983 Neptune Plaza Concert Series Collection consists of manuscript and print materials, audio recordings, and graphic materials that document the 1983 concert series sponsored by the American Folklife Center.

The concerts take place on the Neptune Plaza at the front of the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress between May and September.
