Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s Library and Archives

New facility for the Library & Archives of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

Former SAA Performing Arts Roundtable newsletter editor, George Bain, points us in the direction of an article by Andy Leach in the latest issue of Ohio Archivist regarding the expansion of the Library and Archives at Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Great news!  But whither Performance! itself?

Summer Newsletter Now Out

The latest issue of Performance!, the newsletter of the SAA Performing Arts Roundtable is now available.

Percy Anderson's costume design for Herbert Beerbohm Tree's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (1911) from the B. J. Simmons & Co. records, Harry Ransom Center.

In addition to feature length articles on outsourcing the Paul Taylor Dance Company archives and the development of an exhibit space by the American Choral Directors Association, the issue contains full details about the upcoming PAR meeting at the SAA Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas.

In our ongoing remissness, we also completely forgot to remark upon the second anniversary of Ephemeral Archives (last week).  Blame it on the summer heat.

Look for more tidbits about the Roundtable in the coming days…
