Widening the range of our digital resources: The Nineteenth Century Stage: Industry, Performance and Celebrity
As a result of consultation with academics from the Faculty of Humanities and colleagues at the Rylands, the Library has arranged for electronic access to the newly launched database. Hosted by AM, the collection serves as a valuable reserve of digitised primary materials documenting the evolution of the theatrical world, including its reception and dissemination, through a diverse variety of popular media. These range from scarce ephemera, playbills, photographs, financial records and business correspondence to toy theatre prints.
Sourced from major cultural institutions from across the United States, Australia and the UK - including, as a key guarantor of worth, a selection digitised from the Rylands鈥� considerable , the collection contributes further to the library鈥檚 extensive reserves in a fertile area of study.
