Notas do Editor
- Talk a little about our collaborative project the York Theatres Playbills project, what we’ve done and show some examples of playbills and our archive, then Lydia will talk about her involvement
- In 2007 York St John was successful if gaining part JISC funding to develop a digital repository, which was first used to store digital material from the Collaborating for Creativity CETL project. Way of exploiting and making more accessible post 1945 York Theatre Royal archive collection held at York St John, as well as bringing together playbills from across the city, some being on the walls of pubs or in private hands
- Meetings held and agreed to a pilot project investigating feasibility of digitising the collections held by various partners withi n timescale of 6 months
- Limited by size of scanner so can’t do any of the bigger onesItems passed to YSJ for uploading into the archivePublicity and launch planned for early June before the evening performance at the Theatre Royal.Also hoped publicity would encourage amnesty of playbills out in the community
- Colleague working with us on project has web skills so she was able to design a web page. Web page has details of the project, a search box to search the playbills and there is also a blog.
- Browse search of 18th century playbills in the collection with thumbnail images created as part of the upload process
- Example of full record showing item in detail and metadata
- Oldest playbill in the collection – points of interest – pick out
- The Doncaster theatre in the Yorkshire circuit, pick out points of interest
- One that had to be preserved – interesting because of drawings and flying beasts, early version of the Lion king
- Wartime playbill, note the reuse of paper as this is printed on the reverse of another one
- More recent playbill from the 21st century collection
