We’ve also launched a digital collection that includes early photos & a rare script for the 1903 musical ‘In Dahomey,’ now the third-known variant of the script for one of the earliest major Broadway musicals created and performed by African American artists. hrc.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/coll...

The performing arts collections here @RansomCenter are vast - dating from the 11th century to the present. I’ve got detailed research guides online (www.hrc.utexas.edu/collections/...), but do reach out with any questions you have about the collections (performingarts@hrc.utexas.edu).

Performing arts historian, archives/libraries/museums, digital humanities. Teach archives literacy and connect researchers to resources. Currently working on an exhibit about the impact of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee on the American theatre.
