Featured Collection
Guthrie Theater Archives
The Guthrie Theater records constitute a major element of the Performing Arts Archives. The theatre company was founded by Sir Tyrone Guthrie in Minneapolis in 1962 and has consistently ranked among the top repertory playhouses in America since that time. Every play performed on the Guthrie mainstage since its first season in 1963 is represented by prompt books, production notes, costume bibles, photographs, audio tapes containing background music or sound effects, and set designs.

What is a Finding Aid?
tab_bottom.jpg
A finding aid is a guide to a group of archival records, personal papers, or manuscripts. It may be a brief summary or a detailed description and inventory. The finding aid describes the origin, extent, dates, contents, important topics, and organization of the records. It is a tool to help researchers determine if the records contain material of interest to them and exactly where that material is located.
