Performing Arts in America, 1875-1923
Created and maintained by The New York Public Library for Performing Arts , this site makes available a sample of the library's extensive holdings in the history of performing arts. Wishing to "offer a glimpse inside" a society in which "entertainment for the masses became a thriving industry", the library selected for viewing and listening 16,000 primary documents and original resources - a unique and valuable collection of newspaper clippings, promotional and production photographs, sheet music, publicity posters and lobby cards, moving images, programs, and recorded sound. From the straightforward home page, one can go to About the Collection for a brief general overview and links to overviews of dance, music and theater. The database is rich with images, many with zoom and enlargement capabilities.
