(click on image to expand)
Accession Number: 52788
Genre: Business Records
Date: ca. 1965 - 2019
Dimensions: 9 cu. ft.
Description: The Swift Creek Mill Theatre Records Collection highlights the community playhouse’s half century of history. Photographs, programs, playbills, and advertisements detail the high quality and variety of plays produced by the theater, which is still in operation in Colonial Heights, Virginia, housed in a former water mill that dates back to the 17th century.
Restoration Needs: Materials in archival collections are unique and irreplaceable, but archivists must process them before the public can find them and use them for research. The Library has many collections that are currently unknown to the public because they need processing. This work includes arranging and organizing the materials, as well as creating a finding aid (a document that places the materials in context by consolidating information about them), a catalog record, and biographical notes.
Estimated Restoration Cost: $2100
