Shakespeare Birthplace Trust & Royal Shakespeare Company Library and Archives

I had the rare opportunity to work in the library and archives for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford. I researching past RSC performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream from April 26, 1888 to the present.

One of the most interesting aspects of the archives is the RSC Image Database. I studied multitudes of images of Dream from 1949 to this year. Images of other productions trace back to 1879!
