Collections

Most Drama resources will be found in the Arts and Social Sciences Library, with much of the main material at locations PN and PR on the second floor.

Theatre collection

The University of Bristol Theatre collection, based in the Department of Drama, has a library of theatre related books, periodicals and original archival material, including the Women's Theatre Collection. Visit the Theatre collection website for details of its holdings.

If you need an item which is not available anywhere in the library system here in print or online, you can use the Inter-Library Loans service to obtain it from another library. There is a charge for this service, though you may be able to obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this. See the information for undergraduates, postgraduates or academic staff for details of how to obtain these vouchers. Access to other university libraries and the British Library may be a useful alternative.
