MOORE COLLECTION Acc No.: 06-020 Future Additions Expected: Yes Finding Aid creation: December 14, 2016 Collection Dates: 1837-2010 Size: 4 linear feet (12 boxes) Abstract The Paul S. Moore Collection consists of approximately 4 lin. ft. of Moore’s PhD dissertation research on nickelodeon theatres. It also includes one 4-inch binder of collection indexes compiled by Moore. Background Information Moore is the author of Now Playing: Early Moviegoing and the Regulation of Fun. He is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Ryerson University in Toronto and Ryerson Director of the Joint with York Graduate Program in Communication and Culture. Moore is President of the Film Studies Association of Canada, moderator of the Toronto Film Seminar, and at Ryerson is director of the Canadian Theatre Historical Project. He was a co-editor of Marquee, and served on the THS awards committee. Moore donated his collection to THS in 2006. Scope and Contents Note The Paul S. Moore collection comprises 1111 file folders of documents stored in 12 boxes. The collection is predominantly made up of photocopied advertisements (illustrated and non-illustrated), newspaper clippings, construction permits, theatre directories, and listings of theatre showtimes. Announcements and news stories of a theatre’s opening or construction are frequently among the material represented in the files. The collection is arranged according to the original order that it was donated. It begins with Chicago theatres and related subjects. Next are files on non-Chicago theatres in Illinois, followed alphabetically by other areas in the Midwest and along the east coast. Other materials in the Theatre Historical Society holdings may relate to the topics in this archive. Consult the archivist for further research assistance.
