Welcome to the Drama, Music and Theatre History guide
This resource guide provides an overview of some of the archive and rare book collections held by the University of Exeter that may be particularly useful for the study of music, drama, dance, and theatre history. The pages below provide information about archives, rare books, and cinema museum collections, and contain links to the catalogues, through which you can explore the collections further.
The resources highlighted in this guide have been identified using our catalogues, but are not exhaustive. You can search our archives catalogue and library catalogue with key word searches to identify further items of interest. More information on searching the catalogues can be found on the Search our Catalogues LibGuide.
