Performing Arts Resources
Theatre Library Association’s monograph series, Performing Arts Resources (ISSN: 0360-3814) features articles on resource materials in the fields of theatre, popular entertainment, film, television and radio, information on public and private collections, and essays on conservation and collection management of theatre arts materials. PAR also publishes rare historical documents and out-of-print works that might otherwise be lost to theatre scholarship.
PAR is published on an irregular schedule, and distributed to all members of TLA as a benefit of membership. Subscriptions to PAR are available only by contacting TLA directly. Payments via subscription agencies or other vendors are accepted from non-U.S. institutions only.
Copies of the current and most past volumes can be purchased from TLA. Personal and institutional members receive a $10 discount.
Full text articles from current volumes and many past volumes of PAR are available in HTML format in International Bibliography of Theatre and Dance with Full Text and International Index for the Performing Arts Full Text. Check with your library to find out if it subscribes to these databases.
