Seminar Invite for 'Out of the Box and Dusted Down: Foraging and Findings'

Abstract

On 12th May 2009 the Theatre, Film and Television Studies Department (TFTS) and the Centre for Performance Research (CPR) will welcome new Departmental Fellow Barbara Cavanagh and we would like to invite you to attend an unusual seminar we are planning and join us for a wine reception to celebrate the occasion. John and Barbara Cavanagh amassed one of the world's largest private collections of theatre books and ephemera and deposited the International Theatre Collection (ITC) which consists of 22,000 books, monographs and journals as well as posters, prints and theatre ephemera, with CPR in 2007. Barbara's intimate knowledge of the ITC will prove invaluable to our making it accessible to staff and researchers and her comprehensive knowledge of the field (and other collections) will inform direction and development of the collections held by CPR in TFTS and enable the realisation of the ITC as an active Departmental resource.
