http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/213283576

The International Theatre Institute Collection consists of records documenting the history of the ITI institution from 1946 to 2005, and items describing international theatre activity during the latter half of the 20th century, with the bulk of the material from the 1970s and 1980s. The archive of ITI institutional history makes up Series I-VIII, and includes correspondence, minutes, reports, notes, budgets, conference papers, directories, schedules, and other printed matter. The theatre materials, which were formerly available as part of the ITI / U.S. reference library, comprise Series IX-XI, and include play manuscripts, programs, press releases, newsletters, season brochures, festival catalogs, dramaturgical essays, transcripts of taped interviews, commemorative pamphlets, clippings, and other ephemera. The collection is particularly strong in its documentation of the ITI / U.S. Center's activities, of ITI's World Congresses, of Latin American playwriting and theatre, and of European theatre.
