Schools

The Theatre Collection welcomes enquiries from schools (KS3-5) and colleges. As one of the largest collections of British theatre history in the world we cover a range of historical periods and hold material that can be related to different areas in the curriculum, adding value to a variety of subject areas beyond theatre and drama studies.

Please email theatre-collection@bristol.ac.uk to discuss your requirements and how we can help.

Online schools' resources 
As part of our HLF funded project Sharing the Messel Magic we have developed a series of thematic digital resources based upon the archive of Oliver Messel, one of the twentieth century's greatest theatrical designers.
