In the past months, ACTS has been updated in a number of its parts. The Bibliography's electronic database has just been updated to be current with the information coming out in this Newsletter, thanks to John Ball who toils incessantly throughout the winter in the sunny climes of Mexico. The Texts section now includes more of the New Brunswick newspaper material collected by Mary Smith; we are working on a Voaden site of published and unpublished scripts, critical writings, and essays on his work -- which should be up in the first half of this year. The Playbills section's database is now up and running with images and an electronic search engine of the 19th century playbills in the UNB and the NB Archives; we are presently having the Harvard Theatre Collectionholdings of 19th century maritime playbills scanned for inclusion on the site this summer. Theatre Research in Canada is up to date on line, for subscribers. About the only area of the site not busy these days is the performance calendar section; we have up and running all the research we have.
I would appreciate any suggestions, leads, etc for material for this
site:
