Collections from Danish theatre directors and actors

The Drama Collection contains several collections from leading Danish theatre publishers, actors and directors (including many scrap books).

A survey of these collections (only partly catalogued) is available in Danish in Guide til Dramatisk Biblioteks samlinger

The as yet uncatalogued collections can be studied at the special reading rooms in the National Library (The Black Diamond) by filling out the "Special request" in the REX online catalogue.
