The Online Theatre Histories Archive: Research

Description

This resource contains a variety of resources that explain the uses of digital archives, where the Online Theatre Histories Archive (OTHA) sits within academic debate, and how the material can be used in creative, practice-based contexts. Included is a literature review that outlines the theories and discussions that outlines the themes a performing arts archive encompasses, several interviews with professionals in the fields of archives, theatre and documentation, two short films of workshops using OTHA as a primary point of departure for devising and a research toolkit. The last is a series of questions that are designed to encourage the researcher to think about the different ways the collection could be used in an educational and/or creative context.
