Research in Chicago

Here's the deal:

I am doing research for a reference book (about ballet). But I am here in NYC.

Update: Thanks for everyone who emailed me. You are all amazing!

victor, if you check first with the newberry library, which is the place to go, you will find out if they have what you need.

othewise i suppose if the theatre itself has an archive they might be able to help you.

as well here is a link to the papers of ann barzel, which are in the library:

take a look around the library's collections, ann barzel's films are there too.

Reference librarians are trained to do this sort of research quickly and efficiently. Call and follow up with a written request stating specifically what you need. I am sure they would be happy to copy the appropriate pages from programs or answer particular questions you may have.

Be sure to give enough time for staff to do this. Librarians have been researching for authors for centuries; please realize that they have many demands on their time and resources. Best of luck in your research........

Thanks for the links Juliet. Now I know where to begin

Mme. Hermine supplied the links, I just supplied the professional hints! I am familiar with this library, however, and it is a jewel........
