Theatre and performance in Scottish archives

Bachmann, M. and Heinrich, A. (2021) Theatre and performance in Scottish archives. In: Live Art Data: New Strategies in Theatre Archiving. Neue Strategien der Theaterarchivierung Scotland // Niedersachsen. Universitätsverlag Hildesheim: Hildesheim, pp. 20-24. ISBN 9783964240590

Abstract

The authors provide a survey of archives in Scotland – and in one case beyond its national borders – that collect relevant materials regarding Scottish theatre and performance history. Their mostly descriptive account supplements two other contributions in this White Paper: a practical case study on teaching with visualiser technology at the Scottish Theatre Archive (Christopher Field and Jenny Knotts); and a critical history of live art in Scotland, with a particular focus on the archival situation (Stephen Greer).
