Research Resources: Subject Research Guides:
Theater and Dance

This is a guide to basic resources in theater and dance available at Rutgers University. The Mabel Smith Douglass Library and Music Library house the main collections on theater and dance, including books, periodicals, and visual materials. Douglass also has some art history and studio art materials, and Music has sound recordings and scores. Alexander Library has additional print resources, particularly in the areas of dramatic literature and criticism. The Paul Robeson Library on the Camden campus and the Dana Library on the Newark campus have theater collections complementing their theater arts programs. More sound recordings can be found at the Institute of Jazz Studies, and additional visual materials are at the Media Center in the Kilmer Library. Special Collections and University Archives holds significant collections of theatrical manuscripts and rare print materials. Related Rutgers subject research guides include those for Art History, Cinema Studies, Communication, Jazz, Media Collections, and Music.

Theater or theatre?
When searching, always assume that either is possible. IRIS, the Rutgers University Libraries' online catalog, always uses theater in subject headings, but follows the author's preference for titles. This will not be the case in every catalog or in every database (British sources almost always use theatre), so always try both spellings.
