The collection contains over 4,900 individual issues from 279 separate titles. Background Information The Theatre Historical Society of America was founded in 1969 to promote the legacy of America’s historic theatres and insure the documentation of the architectural, cultural and social history of those theatres. Early archive materials were collected by members and kept in separate locations. Over time the collections were brought to one location and combined. From these initial collections the materials were organized and separated into several different collections. Records detailing histories of specific theatres were labeled the Theatre File, materials containing information on theatre mechanics, cinema chains, architects, THS members, vaudeville circuits, among other topics became the Subject Files, Photos that were used in the publication of THS’ quarterly magazine, Marquee were gathered into the Editor’s Collection, photographic slides, postcards, and negatives became the THS Slide Collection, THS Postcard Collection, and THS Negative Collection respectively. These collections came from THS members and donations made throughout the organization’s history. The Magazine Collection is comprised of titles that THS has subscribed to throughout the organization’s history related to its mission. Additionally the collection contains individual issues that have been collected or donated or contain articles related to theatre operation, architecture, technology, or other similar topics. The collection does not include Marquee, which has been published by THS since 1969. Scope and Contents Note The Magazine Collection 4818 individual issues of 279 separate titles.
