Abstract

The article presents information on the National Resource Centre for Dance (NRCD) of the University of Surrey. It is said to be the only archive exclusively committed to collecting materials related to the history of dance in Great Britain. The archive includes personal papers, photographs, scrapbooks, periodicals and many forms of ephemera. It says that the oldest item it found was a book published in 1698 about the English stage. In 2008, the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) awarded the NRCD and University of Surrey with funds to conduct cataloguing, research and dissemination work on its collections during the early decades of the twentieth century.
