The Ford E. and Harriet R. Curtis Theatre Collection is a veritable treasure trove for theatre scholars as well as theatre buffs. The collection consists of several thousand volumes of playscripts, acting editions, histories, and critical works of the theatre and drama, over 500,000 theatre programs, plus periodicals, posters, ephemera, rare scrapbooks and over 20,000 photographs. In addition, the Curtis Collection houses archival records of several local theatrical organizations, and the personal papers of show people. The Curtis Theatre Collection is the primary source for Pittsburgh theatre history. With local materials dating back to the 1860's, we are committed to the documentation of Pittsburgh's rich theatrical life. For more information about the collection, click here.
