We are thrilled to announce the launch of Living Archive, our first ever online archive. This digital resource holds information on every play which has ever been presented on our stages from when we opened our doors in 1956 to now, totalling almost 2000 works by over 1000 writers.
This resource is free and fully accessible and can be navigated by users through pathways created by guest curator-writers. It has been designed to challenge preconceptions around what we archive, who gets to decide what is archived and how we mark historic projects.
Living Archive was developed with the support of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Digital Accelerator Grant for Arts and Culture @BloombergDotOrg.
