Archival Holdings

The SBW Foundation is custodian of a large accumulation of archives and manuscripts which are of considerable historical significance for the study of the performing arts in Australia.

These archives and manuscripts are in the process of being catalogued over several years in a collaborative project with NIDA,
the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney, with the object of establishing archival control of both collections, preserving them and making them accessible to the wider community through the internet.

To read more about some of the archival holdings refer to the links on the left. We have photographed and scanned some of the collections to help you to visualise the contents.

We encourage teachers and student groups to book in and visit the SBW Foundation office in Botany where many of the collections are stored. We have on offer an amazing educational resource. Please phone to organise a time for your group through the CONTACT page.
