Shakespeare’s Globe archive

6 March 2019

Archives from Shakespeare’s Globe are now available online as part of a collaboration with primary source publisher, Adam Matthew Digital.

The archival materials in this collection offer an insight into Sam Wanamaker’s reconstruction of the original 1599 Globe Theatre, as well as detailing the way in which this space was constructed as part of a theatrical experiment through which to examine the plays of William Shakespeare and others. Over 200 productions from 1997 to 2016 are documented in the Shakespeare’s Globe Archive through prompt books, wardrobe notes, music, performance photographs, programmes, publicity, marketing material, research, and show reports.
