Description
One box of programmes from the University of Birmingham, from 1924 to 2000. The majority of programmes in the collection are from 1949 onwards; the 1960s are particularly well represented.
The programmes are largely from concerts given in the Barber Institute, including performances in the Concert Hall. There are a few other venues represented in the collection. These include the following venues: Medical Theatre, Edmund Street; Guild of Undergraduates; Elgar Concert Room, Faculty of Arts.
The majority of programmes are from university-related events. There is a significant amount of programmes from concerts organised by the University Musical Society. These include both the earliest programmes in the collection (programmes from concerts given in the Medical Theatre, in the 1920s) as well as the bulk of the collection (programmes from concerts given in the Barber Institute, in the 1960s).
Arrangement:
The programmes are arranged chronologically. Undated items are filed at the end of the sequence.
