The APGRD archive collections are at the heart of our own research and practice, and offer an invaluable resource for scholars and creative practitioners from around the world. We greatly appreciate the donation of performance-related materials to our physical and digital collections, which predominantly include (but are not limited to):
- recordings
- photographs and albums
- programmes
- flyers and posters
- reviews and newspaper cuttings
- scripts
- designs
- personal notes
- correspondence
We welcome offers of such material, whether they are from productions that you have seen, performed in, or produced, or material that you have inherited. We are interested in all types of performance (drama, opera, dance, musical, film, television, radio etc.), amateur and professional, worldwide, and from any time period. So whether you are a production company creating a work inspired by ancient Greek and Roman texts, or a keen theatre-goer who has held on to their programmes:
Please contact us to discuss donating material to the APGRD.
Donating a special collection
The APGRD's Special collections differ from the main general collection by offering a more in-depth or comprehensive range of materials focussed on an individual creative practitioner, company, or institution. If you are a creative practitioner or company, involved in productions based on the ancient Greek and Roman tragedies, comedies, or epics, or if you have inherited the records a family member historically involved in such work, we would be delighted to discuss the possibility of expanding our Special collections.
Contact us to discuss donations of any size.
