This guide is to help you provide research for the Theater major.

Kerr Collection

The Kerr Collection is comprised of about 2,500 books which together provide a comprehensive history of 20th century theater. The collections also includes folio sized scrapbooks compiled by Walter Kerr which consist of dated newspaper clippings of all his published reviews. Pictures of the actors involved are frequently included, and together with his reviews the scrapbooks provide a fascinating glimpse of the New York theater scene in the second half of the 20th century. The scrapbooks and newspaper clippings do not circulate. They are available for viewing by appointment only.

The Kerr collection is located on the second floor of the library.
