A database documenting the concert programme collections in substantial institutions throughout the UK and Ireland. It is intended as a collection finder, not a repository of details for individual programmes.
-
The database restricts its physical scope to Ireland and the UK, and currently describes 5,500 collections of performance ephemera belonging to 53 national and regional institutions of varying size. The majority of current materials date from the nineteenth century to the present, however some programmes are dated as early as 1690. The collection content is international and represents approximately 80 countries.
-
Each collection is described in terms of significance, physical location, and content. Specifically noted, with regard to content, are the date range of content in the collection, along with performers and venues represented. Users may search by time period, venue, performers, collectors, concert series, subject, or holding institution.
-
The database is free of charge and provides access to collections previously unavailable to the general public.
