Description: | Small collection (around 60 items) of playbills for Durham theatres, 18th-19th centuries. An on-line search of the Archives and Special Collections guides and handlists (see Finding Aids) reveals various references to theatre, drama, etc. There are also some miscellaneous references within items in these collections; for instance, in the 17th-century household books in the Howard of Naworth Papers (HNP C706-C707), extracts from which have been published by the Surtees Society (see Publications), and among the political and satirical cartoons, chiefly 18th-century, in the Baker Baker Papers. There are scattered references to medieval performances and entertainments in Durham among the muniments of the Chapter of Durham Cathedral (to consult material in which it is essential to have an advance appointment).; OPAC (on-line catalogue of printed material): http://library.dur.ac.uk/
(excludes some older material recorded only in catalogues available on site). Information on holdings of archives and mss: http://www.dur.ac.uk/Library/asc/
